. ( NOTES ALONG THE EOUTE.
Tourists, desiring to visit that pic
turesque and romantic region in the
Eouth-eastern part of Saxonj, known
as Saxony-Switzerland, generally make
Dresden tho sUrting point. Some go
up the Elbe as far as the little town of
1'irna; others as far as Wehlen, and
from these points ruako the tour on
foot, which is, by far, the best way of
obtaining a good idea of this interest
ing country. I hare gone through it
Loth by rail aud on foot, and as I pre--r
the tramping method of viewing
uch countries, I shall give your read
era the benefit nf a few passing notes
vluch I gathered while loitering along
:;e way.
Our party left presden on ,the rnor
ingof the 18th of July, going by
amer on the Elbo as far as Wehlen.
ha morning was damp and chilly, and
3 j-eateued rain, which at first eome
at darkened our prospects for a
itsant day's journey on foot, but by
x time we hfd taken a little lunch
1 were ready to leave the town al
Jy mentioned, the dark clouds bad
ppeared and the day bid fair to be
,1 that could be wished for.
From Dresden to Pilnitz some three
-r four miles up tho river, the scenery
- quite pretty; on either side rise
-tly sloping wooded hills, here a
ryard and there, peeping' out from
jougst the trees, a cottage or, per-
ais, the ruins of some old castle.
Then, until we reach Pirua thero is
thing of particular interest, but af
r passing this point we again enter a
imantio and wild region, properly the
finning of Saxony-Switzerland. The
:.t bank of the stream is abutted by
i and perpendicular masses of sand
crowned with trees and shrub
. There are many stone-quarries
J the hillside, which tend to lessen
beauty of I hi J interesting part of
Elbe.
From Wehlen to tho Bustei (Bnstian
I'.Jtks) the first point of interest, a
'easani path leads tho wanderer first
rough beautiful groves, then up a
ik canon, over rocks and chasms
tied by rustic bridged until after
! .urn' waik we reach the summit.
road thilLcr a path leaJd to the
W. U. DUNN' ....
left through n gorgi which gradually
narrows until wo reach a place, per
haps, not more than fix feot wide,
where rocks have fallen from above
wedging themselves, as it were, in the
narrow passage, forming a natural roof,
and at tho sanio timo building a tun
nel. Ju?t beyond this a placo was
pointed out to mo whero a traveler
had fallen from the heights above,
meeting almost instant death on the
rough and hard path below. It was
in the night. He had lost his way and
w as making for a light he saw in the
distance, liltro'thinking how soon he
was to tako a fatal step over a preci
pice at least one hundred feet high.
The Rastei is one of the finest point
of observation iu Saxony-Switzerland.
The rocks at this place .riso almost
perpendicularly from tho right bank
of tho Elbe, which rushes swiftly
around their base, to tho height of 790
feet. It is tho grand view of the sur
rounding country which this point af
fords, and tho peculiar formation of
the rocks, topped with trees and over
hung with creeping vines, that make
it one of the most interesting in that
district of which I write. At places
these rocks look as if they had been
carved out by the hand of man, repre
senting all shapes imaginable; again
we see inverted pyramids, their heavy
tops threatening to crush asunder their
slender support. The isolated Lilien
stein and Kcenigstein stand boldly out
to the front, with the Bohemian Mts.
in the background, and the rabststeio
and tho Winterberg to the left, whilst
in the valley below speed on the wa-
teis of tho Elbe, flowing by tho beau
tiful city of Dresden, then north thro'
Anhalt, forming in part the boundary
between Mecklenburg and Hanover,
widening into an estuary ot Hamburg
and thence into the depths of the North
Sea.
The summit of Koenigstein, 920 feet
above the Elbe, is a level district of
eight or ten acres in extent, and has
been used as a fortress for ages. Ow
ing to its isolated position it has never
been takeu. Tho only point from
which it could possibly be commanded
is tho distant Lilienstein on the oppo
site side of the river. Napoleon tried
to storm it from this point, but after
considerable labor in dragging up
three pieces of artillery be found his
shot all fell short and had to give it up
in despair. During war the public
treasure is taken hero for safe keeping.
Even the monarchs fly thither in hours
of danger. In the beginning of the
soveu years' war, the army of Saxony,
14,000 men strong, was shut in at the
base of Lilienstein and compelled,
through hunger, to surrender to Fred
erick II, before the very eyes of their
King who had taken refuge in the for
tress of Koenigstein. A garrison of
four or five hundred men is still sta
tioned here, and I do not consider it an
unpleasant place to live, for tho air is
pure and a charming view of the sur
rounding mountains and towns can be
had from the ramparts. The water,
which is of an extra quality, and ice
cold, is obtained from a well about
nine feet in diameter and CGO ft. deep;
it is cut through the solid rock and
required forty years to complete it.
The time seems long, but my authority
is an officer who ncted as guide and
could have no reason for exaggerating.
During war prisoners are brought here,
and many were the stories our guide
related of the bold attempts to escape.
During tho lato trouble between Ger
many and France many French pris
oners were conveyed to this point, and
he tells about three young men who
made their escape one night by going
down tho precipitous rocks by means
of a rope made front their clothing,
blaukets and the like, and then by
crawling through a crevice, reached a
place from which they could descend
without any risk of life. They cer
tainly knew the lay of tho country, for
in two days they had reached Bohe
mian soil, aud showed their apprecia
tion of the good treatment they had
received by sending their photograplns
to the commander in charge of the for
tress, and bidding him a pleasant good
bye. I was eIiowii a place where an officer
tried to make bis escape by climbing
down tho rocks, but after a successful
descent of fifty feet, ho in some man
ner lost his hold aud was precipitated
to the ground. His cries were heard
from above and he was brought buck
but died in the course of a few days.
As the story gops a party of gnomes
assemble regularly evsry year on the
niht of the first of April on a precip
itous and rook; slope of the Libeiibtein
where they Liwg together their gold
and jewels in order to take au inven
tory, as it were, and drink to ono
another's health and have a good timo
in general. Tho peasants have great
faith in this, and even to this day you
occasionally meet one who declares ho
has heard their murderous screams
aud defying laugh. Many years ago
ono of these superstitiouspcasants, to
whom tradition gives tho uamo of
Hans Merchantman, determined to
conceal himself during the day in the
vicinity of their supposed haunt, and
watch their proceedings in tho night.
He accordingly reached the place to
wards evening and hid himself among
the rocks. About midnight tho gnomes
put in their appearance, scattering
gold and silver around the mouth of
tho cave in great profusion ; they dis
puted and quarreled aud mutilated
one another in a horrible manner, un
til finall', from tho e fleets of too much
wein and beer they nil fell asleep.
Hans, naturally enough, perceiving
the opportunity to reap a rich harvest,
came forth, and seizing one of tho
largest pieces of gold, put it on his
shoulder and hastcucd down the hill.
The pests awoke before ho had gone
far, and cried after him to drop their
gold, which through fear ho did, and
hastened on home, arriving there the
next day. Ho told his anxious friends
what he had witnessed, and went to
bed that night the proudest man in
Saxony. But lo ! on waking up the
next morning he found the bar ofJ
precious metal on his shoulder, and,
terrified, took it to the Elbo and sunk
it, but it came back to him again, and
he ever after tried in vain to get rid of
it. Toor old Haus Merchantman was
obliged to carry his ill-gotten treasure
with him wherever he went, year after
year. Men considered him as one ac
cursed, and children fled from him as
from a giant. Life was a burden to
him aud he longed to get rid of this
world's troubles. But one bright
spring morniiig brought peace to poor
Hans, he died.
Tho Pabststein, of which I havo al
ready made mention, is another good
pokit of observation, and is some three
or four miles further up the Elbe.
There is a small hotel on the summit,
where our party put up one night. It
was extremely cold, and I found my
heavy overcoat a very comfortable ar
ticle then as I have often found it an
indispensable ono since, while travel
ing over the snow-covered mountains
of Switzerland or sojourning in the
vicinity of these mighty glaciers. The
wind whistled around the houso and
threatened to send it over the rocks,
down two or three hundred feet among
the trees. The next morning was clear,
it was indeed like an early spring
morning, and I thought the picture
that met my eyes as I looked over the
couutry for miles around was the most
beautiful one.I had ever seen. Moun
tain peaks to tho right, peaks to the
left ; on the ono sido the meandering
Elbe, on tha other a beautiful valley
of cultivated fields, dotted here and
thero with cozy farm houses.'
The Ktduhdl (cow-stable), some four
hours' walk from Schandau isa natu
ral hall or tunnel through the rocks,
aud is about twenty feet in height by
thirty in width, and is supposed to
have received its name from the fact
that tho peasants were accustomed in
war times, to drive their cattle thither
for protection from tho enemy. Near
tho entrance a crevice in tho rocks
forms a passage way to the top, thro'
which people can ascend, provided they
are of moderate thickness. This is
also ono of the high points in this ter
ritory and is important because of the
view it affords.
Before reaching this point we pass a
cascade which the Saxons, or some at
least, think surpasses Niagara Falls.
If you were not told about its presence
you would certainly pass by without
seeing it. The water, which is col
lected above by means of a sort of a
bracket and is let out by
pulling a cord from below, falls over a
little embankment tome twenty feet
high, wit'i a noise not unlike that of a
gentle wind rustling among the leaves.
After the water has passed over, which
requires but a few minutes, the good
gentleman in attendance performs the
invariably last act of the closingscene
by reaching out his hand for that de
testable Trinhgehl (gratuitous gift)
with a proficiency unsurpassed, and a
manner so pleasing that never fails to
attract the traveler's attention to some
other point of observation.
I admire the Saxon's love for father
land and all that belongs to it, and al
though their picturesqup and, in a de
gree, subliiuo region has no marked
resemblance to Switzerland, they havo
a perfect right to call it and their hills
what they please, and have just the
same right to ascend to tho summit,
draw on their overcoats and imagine
themselves above the snow or prome
nading around the moon.
