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.

The Pfaffenstein with its many small "secrets" is often visited, even in winter.
