Hotel holidays with friends in Königstein Saxon Switzerland

Your hotel as a retreat for an active break

"Over hill and dale..." in the Saxon Switzerland National Park

A verse that inspired us – it combines the love of nature in Saxon Switzerland with the carefree ease of childhood. This is exactly the feeling we want to convey to all guests at our 3-star hotel, idyllically situated between the tranquil towns of Bad Schandau, Königstein and Schmilka. And if you want to experience the famous Bastei rock bridge in the evening without the crowds, our hotel is almost around the corner.

We are Stock & Stein Königstein – your retreat in Saxon Switzerland, below the Lilienstein and directly on the Elbe. Our hotel, with its large outdoor area, view of the imposing Königstein Fortress, a wide range of sports facilities and its own sauna area, is much more than just a place to relax. We are your haven of peace – where forest, river and sandstone mountains become the backdrop for conscious experiences and lasting moments.

Welcome to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains

Get out, switch off and wind down

This is what you can do with us: get out, switch off, wind down – and experience the unique nature of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains around Königstein, Schmilka and the spa town of Bad Schandau with all your senses. Whether families, adults, children, school classes, seminar groups, people with disabilities or company conferences – everyone is welcome at the Aktiv-Hotel Stock & Stein. True to our motto “Holidays with friends”, we want to be more than just your host in Saxon Switzerland.

Hotel, accommodation for a short break, holiday with children or location for your event – with us it feels like coming home, only on holiday. We can offer you a lot for your relaxation. There is plenty to experience in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, without the need for a theme park. Our large sunbathing lawn by the Elbe with a view of Königstein Fortress and our beer garden are the perfect place to unwind. And you can switch off with a delicious breakfast buffet and dinner as part of our half board, in the library or in our sauna area.
