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)[reply]
Support. Agreed, I don't think it is well known in the English-speaking world... It's a very sharp and high quality image. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:20, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
