The Bastei Bridge: A Dream of Nature

Overview

There is a region nestled on the border of the Czech Republic whose landscapes are as grandiose as they are mysterious: Saxon Switzerland. In this mineral setting, a true "German Grand Canyon", where imposing sandstone cli s rise up, is perched a witness to the history of the region: the Bastei Bridge, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The Bastei Bridge and the Elbe Sandstone Massif are not only cultural heritages, they are also natural heritages, havens of peace for numerous species that hibernate, nest, hunt, and shelter from formidable predators.
