Scenic ferry Bad Schandau to Hřensko

Wanderschiff Sächsisch-Böhmische Schweiz der OVPS

More information

Travelling upstream

You will see the rocky world of Saxon Bohemian Switzerland from a very different perspective from the deck of the cruise ship. Just let the rocky Schrammstein formations slide leisurely by. For anyone who wants to get off, the cruise ship is a great way of travelling.

The touring boat will be paused until the start of the season in March 2024. You will receive information on the timetable in good time before the start of the season.
