Saxony holds numerous destinations beyond the usual tourist routes. The region contains medieval castles, expansive natural landscapes and technical monuments from different centuries. The Saxon Switzerland area with its Bastei Bridge and sandstone formations attracts hikers, while the Albrechtsburg in Meißen and Königstein Fortress display historic architecture. Castles such as Kriebstein, Moritzburg and Weesenstein document various periods of German building tradition. The Ore Mountains house technical museums including the Frohnauer Hammer and Seiffen Toy Museum, which provide insight into traditional craftsmanship. The Glashütte Watch Museum presents the development of German watchmaking. The Göltzschtal Bridge in Vogtland demonstrates 19th century engineering. Natural areas like the Upper Lusatian Heath and Pond Landscape and smaller destinations such as Tiefenbach Waterfall round out the offerings. Dresden provides not only the Zwinger but also Pillnitz Palace and the Blue Wonder Bridge.
