Hiking

The signpost to the grandfather's chair is missing quickly ... if it happened, then you should take the trouble and run the few meters back, because the prospect pays off in any case :)

Easy to reach with a dog.

Mountaineering

Relatively easy to climb summit on which, compared to other parts of the Elbe sandstone, there is very little going on. The view from above is of course fantastic here too.
