About Saxon Switzerland
The mountain range was formed after the sea retreated and left (Cretaceous era, roughly contemporary with T-Rex) sandstone as the remains. It was once a wild area, known for robbers and hard to conquer strongholds. Many of those still remain and can be visited. The most impressive is certainly the fortress ofKönigsteinthat was used for centuries as a jail for high-ranking prisoners.
