On the eve of the trip you can buy a day pass at any station in Dresden. This pass not only gives you the opportunity to save money, but also to get off and board the train at any station of the chosen direction as many times as you like. You can also pick up free maps of the various districts of Saxon Switzerland with routes at the station.

A short walk from the station is the ferry, which in the warm season regularly crosses the Elbe. It is better to arrive in the morning, as the place is quite popular with tourists, and in the middle of the day you have to wait in line for the ferry.

Just above the bridge is a café, where you can eat and relax after climbing the mountain. From there, there are a number of hiking routes in different directions, including to Stadt Wehlen, the town of Wehlen.
