After visiting Bad Schandau, I think a good way to see the town would be to park at this spot, take the lift up and walk to town. It is a downhill walk to the main sights in town, including riding the old tram.
It is a short but nice ride up and there are nice views up.
It is 2,80€ for return and 1,80€ for one way.

The best way to get to Ostrau, if you don't mid a little walking (and it's actually wheelchair accessible, though I'd be very cautious). Or just ride it up for the view. Historic structure, but with modern elevator inside.

Impressive elevator with great view at the top. From there you can walk down to the city through the forest and keeping an eye to the city. Worth to do it!

Enjoyed the short lift trip up to the viewing platforms. Didn’t see the lynx, enjoyed a coffee at the top and an amble back down to the park. Good value, got a family ticket for 2 adults and 2teens.

This lift whisks you up to a viewing platform which gives wonderful views of the valley. There is a cafe at the top and the sleepy lynxes are an added attraction.

This historic 50 meter free standing lift was constructed of iron in 1904 by a hotelier in Bad Schandau to transport visitors to the village of Ostrau on a bluff above the river. Declared a protected site in 1954, it was refurbished in 1989-1990. Because our time in Bad Schandau was limited during our Viking Elbe River Cruise, we were only able to view the Personenaufzug as we sailed south of the town. Our tour guide advised us that this lift was used as a location in the film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" directed by Wes Anderson.

Up 50 m for a nice view over Bad Schandau. You can also use it as a starting point for a walk without the climb, but we didn’t and went down the same way.
At the top, there’s a fenced-off plot with a pitiful lynx (large cat). You won’t see it in the wild, so interesting to see its pointed ears etc. But we did feel sorry for it.

Fabulous views from the top of this heritage outdoor lift up the hillside. There are a couple of lynx in a compound at the top. It is worth walking on up to Ostrau and the Turmeck Gastaete
