Bad Schandau is an Elbe River cruise port and spa town in Germany's Saxony state (Sachsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge district), with population around 4,000. The town is on the river's right bank, at the mouth of Kirnitzsch valley. Bad Schandau lies east of Elbe right on the edge of Saxon Switzerland National Park in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. National Park Centre is situated in the town.
The original Bad Schandau town centre is nestled on the towering sandstone rocks on the northern bank of River Elbe and squeezed in places into the Kirnitzsch valley. The downtown is 122 m above sea level (HN), whilst its highest points 400+ m above sea level. Kirnitzschtal Tramway (rural tram line) follows the river for several kilometers and offers access to the nearby walking area.
The original merchants' and craftsmen's settlement left of the Elbe with timber-framed houses, mentioned as early as 1379, has been a summer resort since the late-19th-century when began development of tourism. The village was the sphere of action of Krippen villager and inventor of mechanical wood pulp for the manufacture of paper, Friedrich Gottlob Keller, from 1853 to his death in 1895.
