If you have some time, try this. Old beautiful steam ships there are modern diesel too, so take care when you buy tickets bring you up the river through the beautiful Elbtal. Relaxing trip. You will have a good look to the engines! Before 1990 they where fired with coal, now oil is used, but it's still steam engine.

Good and comfortable. Even faster than car due to a direct line along the river Elbe. Look for train line S1, direction "Bad Schandau". The closest station is located in the town of Rathen, it is then a ferry ride across the Elbe River to start of the walking track up to the main lookout location.
