Elbe Sandstone Mountains and Bastei bridge, Germany

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains is a mountain range straddling the border between the state of Saxony in southeastern Germany and the North Bohemian region of the Czech Republic.  In both countries, the mountain range has been declared a national park. The name derives from the sandstone which was carved by erosion. The river Elbe breaks through the mountain range in a steep and narrow valley.
