Hiking

Not far from the cultural metropolis of Dresden, in the middle of the Saxon Switzerland National Park region, the stately mountain fortress rises 247 meters above the Elbe. It offers 400 years of fortress architecture, history that you can experience and a fantastic panoramic view of the Elbe valley and Dresden. Castle, monastery, fortress, pleasure palace, state prison, prisoner of war camp, youth work camp: all of this was the Königstein.

The Königstein Fortress is always a sublime sight, no matter which direction you see it from, and a nice photo opportunity too.
