Brand (Sächsische Schweiz) is a mountain in the Saxon Switzerland, southeastern Germany.
Its name (German for fire) refers to the wildfires that occurred in the surrounding forests.
In 1856, a log cabin was built and in 1877 replaced by a stone house that served as an inn and was later expanded to offer lodging.
The historical buildings now called Brand-Baude were modernized in 2007 and are now one of the tourist information centres of the Saxon Switzerland National Park, including a restaurant and hostel.
[1] The Brand, with its views over the eastern, southern and western parts of the Saxon Switzerland and even the Eastern Ore Mountains, is part of the Malerweg (Artist's Way), a popular hiking trail that is named after the many painters who visited the region in the past centuries.
