Surrounding of Konigstein offers many different outdoor activities (and many camping places). We spent one day in canoe going down the Elbe river to Pirna (and the way back by train: we just let the air out of the rubber canoes and took them with us to the train). Second day we walk through the rocks to the pick: Lilienstein viewpoint. I liked both but walking made the kids more tired.
I was the first time I we cycle instead of walk to the pick. It was Brocken in Harz and as there are more roads to the pick, it is possible to take bicycle with. I will not hide that most of the time we led bikes up the hill, but down the hill it was fun! It was faster and funnier then it would be in the winder with sledges. Other family members had a mountain bicycle, but I did it on my cross bike (Unibike Voyager) and it was sufficient.
