Saxon Switzerland National Park (German: Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz), established in 1990, is located in the German Free State of Saxony, near the Saxon capital Dresden. It covers two separated areas of 93.5 km² (36.1 sq mi) in the heart of the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, which is often called Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz). Saxon Switzerland is an intensively fissured and rocky canyon landscape. The highest peak of the National Park is at 556 m (1,814 ft) above sea level. The National Park adjoins Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Czech: České Švýcarsko) in the Czech Republic.
