Original – The Bastei is a rock formation towering 194 metres above the Elbe River in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Germany. Reaching a height of 305 metres above sea level, the jagged rocks of the Bastei were formed by water erosion over one million years ago.
The Bastei has been a tourist attraction for over 200 years. In 1824, a wooden bridge was constructed to link several rocks for the visitors. This bridge was replaced in 1851 by the present Bastei Bridge made of sandstone.

Reason

Very good quality, highly detailed, good EV depicting the Bastei bridge and its surroundings, including the Bastei rock formation.

• Support — A fine image of an unusual rock formation that's probably not widely known in the English-speaking world. The bridge adds visual interest. Sca (talk) 14:31, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
