Walking on the nicest and most popular footpath of Germany

The painter's way - 112 wild-romantic kilometres through Saxon Switzerland. Past the nicest views which the national park has to offer nicely famous artists walked like Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, Adrian Zingg and Gustav Graff (latter are the name givers of Saxon Switzerland) by the weird rock nature and held on the beauty spots on canvas.
Along these famous pictures you walk along and discover the same views like the artists. Maybe you feel like yourselves once trying in the art of the paint.
