A unique way to explore Europe

Night train journeys are the kind of journeys you’ll never forget. The journey is an experience in itself. Perfect for a weekend escape, midweek trip, or a much bigger adventure.

Travel to nature while you sleep

Sleep your way to your destination and wake up refreshed. European Sleeper offers a direct connection from Brussels and Amsterdam to Bad Schandau and Děčín, nestled in the heart of beautiful natural landscape.

Saxon Switzerland

Hiking, and nothing but hiking, is probably the greatest thing to do in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Saxon Switzerland National Park. The age-old landscape, with its bizarre rock formations and fascinating flora and fauna, makes it one of the most enchanting hiking areas in Europe.

The famous Bastei Bridge offers amazing views over the Elbe River valley. Step off at Bad Schandau for direct access to Saxon Switzerland.

Bohemian Switzerland

Hiking is the best way to discover Bohemian Switzerland National Park in the Czech Republic. This timeless landscape, with its impressive sandstone formations, and rich biodiversity, makes it one of the most enchanting hiking areas in Central Europe.

Step off the European Sleeper in Děčín, the perfect gateway to this hiking paradise. There are countless trails leading to stunning rock formations, such as the Pravčická brána rock arch, or explore the gorges near Hřensko.

From Děčín, the national park is easily accessible on foot, by bike, or by bus.
