Trekking to the Bastei Bridge (Dresden, Germany)

The time of year which we decided to visit the Bastei Bridge just happened to be a day too late for the bus to drop us right at the bridge’s entrance. After making our way from Berlin to Dresden by train, we hopped a bus that would get us to the closest drop-off point to Bastei, which puts us and the bridge about three kilometers apart. On our way we went, walking on the side of the road, it was a quiet day with very few cars. Minutes went by, and we moved into the forest, following signs, getting closer to our destination. Being surrounded by trees in fall put me in such a tranquil state, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. I love the outdoors.
