Kleiner Galgenteich Natural Swimming Pool

Highlight • Lake

It is an open-air swimming pool with season from the beginning of June to the end of August, with two slides, a diving tower, a lot of sunbathing area, a children's playground, a children's beach with shallow water, a beach volleyball court and a nudist area. The water is always fresh due to natural inflow. It would be worthwhile to visit the bath during a hike in the appropriate season. Information: Tel.: 03505631995

Viewpoint on the Kahleberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 905 meters, the Kahleberg is the third highest elevation in the Eastern Ore Mountains and at the same time the highest mountain in the Saxon part of this mountain range. From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of Altenberg with the gallows ponds across to Saxon Switzerland, and in good weather even to the Iser and Riesengebirge. As a natural monument, the block heaps are primarily home to rare lichens and mosses. Above all, the mosses also contribute to the fact that the paths often look like the film set of a fantasy or fairy tale film. Mystical and beautiful.

Kahleberg Summit and Stamping Point

Highlight • Summit

There are quite a few ascents to the Kahleberg from all directions, all of which are easy to climb. You should try not to choose the wide main path from the Hotel Lugsteinhof because it is very busy, especially in the summer and winter seasons. It can also be very crowded at the summit. But a very nice vision!
