Offday Bastei bridge, BBQ gem

At 11 in the morning, everyone who wanted to could join a fortress tour. We had such an enthusiastic tour guide, showing us areas that normal visitors can’t access. It was really cool to spend an hour getting a different perspective on a place we had already been exploring for two days.

Afterward, Maria suggested we stop at Bastei Bridge for a stroll and a nice lunch snack. It’s such a beautiful location, with massive sandstone pillars towering around us.
