How to reach us
Many climate-friendly international train connections lead to the Bad Schandau National Park railway station. From there and when hiking, the coordinated and partially synchronised train, bus, ferry and Kirnitzschtalbahn railway timetables are a great help. For overnight stays, you get a guest card that serves as your ticket for most public transport options. Avoid using a car especially on the long holiday weekends in spring and autumn - risk of traffic jams!
