Wheelchair tour "Sandstone panorama near Reinhardtsdorf-Schöna"

From the parking lot near the tourist information office, the path first leads back to the main road. A few meters later, turn right onto the "Schrammsteinblick" road. After passing several farm buildings (these are located to the right of the road and can be recognized by their smell), the trail turns right again onto a concrete slab path.

At an old road barrier (caution: short steep section!), this turns into a dirt track with a heavily weathered bitumen surface. It is important here not to turn off too early, otherwise you will end up on the grounds of the agricultural cooperative. After 600 m (from the start: 1.8 km), you reach the Burchenbüchel vantage point with a wonderful rest area on a partly slightly gravelly track.

From here, you can either return along the same route or extend the tour by a circular route of around 3.3 km. This route initially runs along the edge of the village - first along a road, then along a field path signposted as the Caspar-David-Friedrich-Weg - to the crossroads in front of a horse farm. There, the signs indicate the direction, turning left back into the village. The last 20 m to the road are very steep, which is why assistance from accompanying persons without limited mobility is recommended.

After this most challenging part of the hike, the route mostly follows asphalt side roads - first to the left, then to the right of the main road - back to the starting point. Several variations are possible here, with the path climbing steadily after reaching the main road.

By car from Dresden / Pirna on the right Elbe via the B172 to the Bad Schandau town entrance sign and before the closed Elbe bridge turn right to Krippen, then through Krippen and at the end of the village follow the signs left to Reinhardtsdorf. At the highest point of the main road in the village, turn right and immediately afterwards you will reach the large parking lot.

Central parking lot on Waldbadstraße (with several designated parking spaces for wheelchair users)

Take the S-Bahn from Dresden to Bad Schandau, National Park station and continue by bus line 251 to Reinhardtsdorf, Ehrenmal (barrier-free accessible bus must be requested in advance).

In principle, the excursion is suitable in any weather, as long as the landscape is not buried several meters deep in snow. On a sunny, warm spring day or in early fall, however, it is probably the most beautiful here. It is astonishing that this tour destination with its spectacular panorama is not yet so well known and that there are therefore few people here.
