When you told your friends or family that you're moving to Dresden, chances are they mentioned a must-see bridge nearby. Well, here’s your chance to check it out with ESN!

We’re organizing the traditional Welcome Hike to one of the most spectacular spot in Sächsische Schweiz - Bastei Bridge! 🔥

🤝 New in town? Want to meet awesome people?
This is the perfect occasion! Come for the views, stay for the vibes, and make new friends along the way.

🕘 Meeting Point:
📍 11:29 at train station Stadt Wehlen
🚆 Train Suggestion: Take the S1 direction Bad Schandau at 10:59 from Dresden Hauptbahnhof, Platform 13.

🥾 Hike Details:
✅ Distance: ~10 km
✅ Difficulty: Some stairs, some uphill - it’s totally doable if you’re in normal physical condition.
✅ Breaks: We’ll stop at key viewpoints, including Bastei Bridge, to take awesome pictures! 📸

⏳ When Do We Return?
It depends on the group size and motivation, but usually we are back around 5-6 PM.

⚠️ Important:
• This is a real hike, not a casual city walk. Expect stairs, steep sections, and a full day of adventure.
• Scared of heights? Some parts have amazing but exposed views!
• No one will carry you back if you get tired - so make sure you’re up for it! (But don’t worry, since we’ll be around 50 people, we’re taking an easier route with the Bastei Bridge.)

🎒 What to Bring?
✅ Lunch
✅ Water
✅ Deutschlandticket (as a QR-code on your phone) + official ID (or another valid transport ticket)
✅ Closed hiking shoes and clothes appropriate to the weather

🔥 It’s going to be an epic day - who’s in? Let’s kick off this Erasmus adventure the right way! 🚀🌄

Open for everybody, no registration or tickets required.
