The top of an old quarry above the village of Oberpoyritz offers a wonderful panoramic view of the Elbe Sandstone and Eastern Ore Mountains. The view extends far across the Upper Elbe Valley with its various ice age formations and the Elbe Valley Slate Mountains (transition between the Eastern Ore Mountains and the Lusatian Massif) from the Panoramahöhe to the Wilisch.
In the background, the crest of the Eastern Ore Mountains stretches from the Tellkoppe in the west via Kahleberg, Geisingberg to the Sattelberg. - Information board on the Graupa nature trail 19
The most striking highlights of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains are beautiful.
The broad ridge of the Großer Winterberg, followed by the landmark of the national park - the Lilienstein - and the individual mesas on the left bank of the Elbe, such as Papststein, Gohrisch, Zschirnsteine, Königstein (with fortress) and Pfaffenstein. Another highlight is certainly the highest peak in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the Hoher Schneeberg with its wide plateau, which towers over the horizon.
