The Swiss Saxony (Or the Saxonian Swiss?)
This Sunday, I went on a trip to a place called the Swiss Saxony (or Saxonian Swiss) with the other two Canadians, Paul and Jae. It's about and hour east of Dresden, up the Elbe river, the opposite direction of my bike trip to Meissen. There are some really cool rock and cliff formations. It's popular with rock climbers because of the large number of vertical cliffs you can climb. It's quite impressive.
We started at a tiny tiny town called Rathen, which was crawling with tourists...
Here's a view of Rathen from on top of the cliffs. It was an awesome day, with incredible visibility.
A look to the west.
These rock formations look really cool.
Two guys decided to climb up that rock that's situated beside the middle of the bridge. Apparently this bridge is pretty old. I wonder why it was built.
More cool scenery.
Some more neat rock formations that we saw further in our hike.
A view from the biergarten at Rathen.
Chilin at the biergarten after our hike. Mmmmm... Warsteiner. They have this on sale at the LCBO in 500ml cans.

Awesome photos! The landscape is amazing. Those rock formations remind me of Chiricahua Nat'l Monument in Arizona. Do you actually do any work over there, or just travel the countryside? :)
Yeah, the landscape was quite amazing... Chiricahua National Monument looks a lot more impressive though. I love the small German towns around the countryside. And yes, I do this thing you call work. I just don't blog about it, because it's not as interesting as traveling.
That's what it reminded me of too!! Chiricahua is definitely quite amazing.
