- Introduction

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, better known as Saxon Switzerland, are probably the most imposing rocky mountains in Germany outside the Alps. Since the original Bing sceneries unfortunately only show green hills instead of steep rocks and the interest in this landscape is high, therefore this add-on. 
The scenery is to the left of the river Elbe and includes the table mountains Pfaffenstein, Gohrisch and Papststein.

The sceneries were created from Google Maps using the Google Earth Decoder.
