L34 Great Elbe Valley Line - Pirna to Dresden

Experience the Elbe Valley - big Elbe Valley Line

On the short Elbe Valley Line you will explore the Elbe Valley between Pillnitz and Bad Schandau. On this excursion, the ship departs Pirna in the morning and travels upriver to the Bad Schandau National Park Center. After 30 minutes, the boat travels downstream through the entire Elbe Valley to Pillnitz Palace. Again, after half an hour, you return to Pirna.

Highlight: on Saturdays we even continue downstream to Dresden - so you experience even more navigation and enjoy for a short time the wonderful silhouette of the baroque city of Dresden.

A super offer for real steam fans and all those who can't decide - because this tour offers a lot: impressive rock formations in Saxon Switzerland, idyllic Elbe meadows, the romantic Pillnitz Castle and the royal baroque city of Dresden.

On this trip you can fully enjoy the beautiful Elbe valley.

station Pirna
Pirna, about 20 kilometers from Dresden, is called "the gateway to Saxon Switzerland".

In the center of Pirna, a tour of the time-honored town is worthwhile. You will reach the town hall. It is located in the middle of the market square and combines stylistic elements from five centuries. Behind the houses on the east side of the market you will find the massive town church of St. Mary, which was built in the first half of the 16th century in place of an older church. You can still see its steep roof from afar while cruising on the Elbe. Today, the Dominican monastery houses the town museum.

station Pillnitz
The Pillnitz station is located with two moorings about 300 m from Pillnitz Palace, directly opposite the Elbe island Pillnitz or below the restaurant "Elbblick" (downstream right) - an ideal starting point for a visit to the palace, the park or a vineyard hike.

station Blasewitz
Die Station Blasewitz befindet sich direkt an der Loschwitzer Brücke, dem „Blauen Wunder" unterhalb des Restaurants „Schillergarten" (flussabwärts links). Sie erreichen von hier aus bequem die Dresdner Standseilbahn, die Schwebebahn und das Villenviertel Loschwitz.
