Hiking

It's truly worth it! The trail to the northern tip, less than 200 meters long, offers everything that defines the Forststeig and this part of Saxon Switzerland: a path through narrow crevices, stairs, and a bit of adventure on the chain-secured rock.

Hiking

The Gohrisch Summit Trail is not a single trail, but rather the ascent to the summit of Gohrisch Table Mountain in Saxon Switzerland, often part of a circular hike or as a stop on the Malerweg (Painter's Trail). The climb is short and steep, involves steps and ladders, and offers fantastic views of Saxon Switzerland and the Bohemian mountains. There are various routes to the summit, including more challenging ones like the Falkenschlucht Gorge and easier ascents, for example, starting from the hiking car park between Gohrisch and Papststein.
