Cuckoo Rocks

Highlight • Natural Monument

Located around 1100 meters high below the Old Silesian Chalet. There is a small rest area there. The so-called pendulum is interesting.

Sausteine (Trzy Świnki / Svinské Kameny) rock formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Hiking trail between the rocks, 👌😎 Unbeatable as a photo motif. If you prefer to hike to the Baude close to nature, then the small side path.

Very beautiful panorama in all directions. The transmitter station does not offer any food, toilets or trash cans.
The wind whistles really hard here.

So: pack a windbreaker, hold on to your trash and, above all, take it with you.

Highlight • Gorge

The rugged abysses and views are unbelievable from here, the colorful ribbons on the paths convey a little Tibetan feeling.

The descent from the Rübezahlkamm via this stone path is not only a challenge when it rains.

Impressive hike to the source of the Elbe, the Elbefall hut and the highlight of the Giant Mountains: the snow pits, the impressive steep face on the ridge path.
