On our second visit we came by camper to the parking area above the Bastei. We parked in the larger parking lot a few kilometers from the bridge and walked about three kilometers to the Bastei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the larger car park, there is also a bus to the Bastei during parts of the year. There is also a parking lot closer to the attraction for those who want to minimize the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here we learned the hard way that you have to read the parking conditions carefully. We thought we had paid for an overnight stay, but the fee was calculated per calendar day. Since we arrived in the evening and wanted to stay after midnight, our night became significantly more expensive than we had expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a motorhome, it is therefore wise to check current prices and conditions carefully. In the larger parking lot, it is possible for motorhomes to stay for up to 24 hours, but it is a parking lot rather than a campsite or traditional parking area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-262925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/batch_IMG_E7621.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Perfectly ok overnight parking at the Bastei Bridge, but unexpectedly expensive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mat_och_glass_i_Rathen\"><\/span>Food and ice cream in Rathen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On our first visit, we hiked back to Rathen the same way we came up.

When Swedish soldiers ravaged the area in the 17th century, the locals used the inaccessible ravine as a hiding place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Schwedenl\u00f6cher is a popular hiking destination and can be combined with Bastei and Rathen for a nice round trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Schwedenl\u00f6cher\" class=\"wp-image-175766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schwedenlocher.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ar_Bastei_vart_ett_besok\"><\/span>Is Bastei worth a visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! We have visited Bastei twice and would definitely consider returning again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, it is the Bastei Bridge that has become the area&#039;s great symbol, but it is the combination of the bridge, the sandstone cliffs, the Elbe, the views and the hiking trails that make the place special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the two visits have also shown us that Bastei can be experienced in very different ways. If you want the hiking experience itself, we recommend the tour from Rathen. If you mainly want to see the bridge and the views, you can instead come from the parking area above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Biergarten vid Bastei i Saxiska Schweiz\" class=\"wp-image-175772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biergarten-Peter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"youtube-short-wrap\">\n  <iframe\n    src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/japJYNy_dl4\"\n    title=\"YouTube video\"\n    frameborder=\"0\"\n    allowfullscreen>\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mer_att_se_och_gora_i_Saxiska_Schweiz\"><\/span>More to see and do in Saxon Switzerland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bastei is just one of many natural experiences in Saxon Switzerland.

The nearest town is Kurort Rathen on the Elbe River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Bastei famous for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bastei is primarily known for its spectacular sandstone cliffs and the famous Bastei Bridge from 1851. From the area there are extensive views of the Elbe and Saxon Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it cost anything to visit the Bastei Bridge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The Bastei and Bastei Bridge are free to visit and are accessible year-round, however some other activities and attractions in the area may cost money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to the Bastei?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A nice alternative is to take the train to Kurort Rathen, take the ferry across the Elbe and then hike up to the Bastei. It is also possible to arrive by car or camper to the parking area above the Bastei and continue on foot or, during parts of the year, by bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have to hike to get to Bastei?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, you don&#039;t have to make the steep hike from Rathen. From the parking area above the Bastei you can reach the bridge with significantly less elevation gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to hike from Rathen to Bastei?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow around 40 minutes for the ascent from Rathen to Bastei. The time it takes depends on your pace and how often you stop along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Felsenburg Neurathen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Felsenburg Neurathen is the remains of a medieval rock castle right next to the Bastei Bridge. The castle was partly built using the natural sandstone formations. The area is currently closed until further notice due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Swedish holes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schwedenl\u00f6cher is a dramatic gorge near the Bastei with narrow passages and many stairs. The name comes from the Thirty Years&#039; War, when locals used the gorge as a hiding place from Swedish soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to visit the Bastei?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bastei can be visited all year round. If you want to hike, spring, summer and autumn are popular periods. Since Bastei is a very popular attraction, it may be wise to arrive early in the day, especially during weekends and high season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you visit Bastei with a camper van?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. There is parking for campervans in the area above the Bastei, from where you can walk or, during parts of the year, continue by bus. Check current parking regulations and fees before visiting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"freed-3818185962\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_2 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><form method=\"post\" id=\"ft_newsletter_subscribe\" action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2022\/07\/bastei-i-saxiska-schweiz\/\" class=\"ft-newsletter\" data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-trp-original-action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2022\/07\/bastei-i-saxiska-schweiz\/\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"stage\" value=\"subscribe\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prenumerera_pa_vart_nyhetsbrev\"><\/span>Subscribe to our newsletter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"form-field\" data-missing=\"This field is required.\" data-invalid=\"Please enter a valid email address.\">\n<label for=\"ft_newsletter_email\">Email address<\/label>\n<input id=\"ft_newsletter_email\" name=\"ft_newsletter_email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" aria-required=\"true\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<input class=\"signup button newsletter-meta-button\" type=\"submit\"  name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -4200px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ft-newsletter-protect\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"98d0b92c63fae1c39c28d2024aa82be8e0ab74fe\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"en\"\/><\/form><\/div><div id=\"freed-429626179\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_3 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 35px;\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"FREEDOMtravel Exit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png\" alt=\"FREEDOMtravel Avslut\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-224x75.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-433x144.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00e5 vidare till FREEDOMtravel Advertisement Annons Skribent: Helena Bergstr\u00f6m Uppdaterad: Augusti 2026&nbsp;|&nbsp;Bastei i Saxiska Schweiz \u00e4r en av de mest spektakul\u00e4ra naturupplevelserna i \u00f6stra Tyskland.
