Sagas, sandstone breakers, and sedan porters between rocks and the Elbe Legends of mountain spirits, brave knights, simple farmers, and unhappy love affairs are entwined around the rocky landscape. But equally interesting are the true experiences from the tough lives of simple boatmen, brew masters, and sandstone breakers. Stories tell of the glamorous world of hoteliers with grand visions and the gaming romances of the noble spa guests, who traveled along the Elbe with elegant paddlers, inspired by painting. Come along on an illustrated journey through the seasons and centuries of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Over 100 historical photos, postcards, and modern landscape shots transport you to the life of times long past and the days when summer visitors conquered the Saxon Switzerland...
