This is a book 7 in my new series of "Hiking Maps" for the most fairytale-like national park in Germany - Saxon Switzerland National Park (Nationalpark Schsische Schweiz) with bizarrely shaped ancient sandstone rocks and mountains covered with moss, lichen and ferns and surrounded by dense temperate forests with more than 400 km well maintained hiking trails. The book contains detailed 25 hiking maps, technical details for each trail (more than 56 trails) like distance (km and miles), hiking time, altitude elevation, gain and loss in altitude, visual altitude profiles, itinerary landmarks, itinerary pictures (100+ pics), camping sites, rock shelters (Boofen), caves, viewpoints, sightseeing, climbing rocks, restaurants, museums, with more than 50 web links. Firstly, it describes in very detail 7 most popular hikes in the park around famous Bastei Bridge and rocks, including Devil's Chamber Hike (Teufelskammer), Sweden Holes Hike (Schwedenlcher), Stadt Wehlen - Kurort Rathen Hike, circular Hohnstein Trail and more. Then it shows 10 topo maps for the most attractive sandstone rocks, table mountains in the park and around, depicting hiking trails, caves, some have beer and snack cafs on their top, climbing rocks, historical sites, metal and wood stairs, plus it describes how to get to them by train, bus, and ferry with ticket prices and ride duration. Then, the 3rd chapter shows 8 topo maps with a very famous and old Malerweg Trail (Malerweg Wanderweg, Trail of Painters), which traverses the most beautiful locations in the park and nearby with stunning landscapes and historical sites, consisting of a 8 stages (Etappe, in German), 8 days trekking circuit of moderate complexity. And, finally, at the end of the book I give information about the park itself, its history, geology, rules, and listing all 58 Boofen used by climbers. Plus, as a bonus, to inspire you even more to visit the park, I include a Photo Album of the most stunning panoramic pictures of mine made at different locations in the park. This collection of hiking maps is in color printed on high quality paper in a compact 6x9 in (15.2x22.8 cm), lightweight, robustly made book format, which can fit into any backpack and be easily used while you are hiking and during planning, researching your hikes.
