Our houses in the health resort Rathen are in a calm elevated location (200m above sea level) at the forest and in the middle of the national park Saxon Switzerland. The scenic nature with pictorial rock formations invite for hiking and climbing. Good traffic connection with train, ship, car and if desired we pick you up at the train station in Rathen.

Almost 150 years ago, the "Lichtenhainer Wasserfall" was already one of the earliest famous features of the Sächsische Schweiz (Saxon Switzerland) and was the setting-off point for the first hikers who wandered on the "tourist paths" through this unique, beautiful region. The guesthouse, built in Swiss style in 1852, was, until the beginning of the 20th century, annexed to a chair-lift, pack-animal and guide´s station, so tha, to avoid the "terrible strain" of an ascent to the cow-shed, you could let yourself be carried up in the chair-lift by 2 carriers.
