Tips

Hiking

In the middle of Saxon Switzerland, on the summit of Pfaffenstein you will be treated to a fantastic panoramic view from the observation tower, a mountain plateau full of history and a regional retreat.

Hiking

Although the mountain restaurant is closed during the winter season, it is still worth a visit. Not only because of the charming wooden construction of the restaurant itself, but also because of the lookout tower next to the restaurant.

Hiking

The tower is absolutely a must! The view is terrific! Especially with children is the Pfaffenstein a worthwhile adventure that has everything to offer, what in the Saxon. Switzerland goes: exciting paths and stairs, magnificent views, explore the cave, and an exciting story!
