    Hiking

    The entire mountain range from the Bastei over the Zankelstein further east is absolutely worth a trip. You can actually only get to the benches with a bit of agility. It is very beautiful up there in autumn too.

    Hiking

    Top viewpoints! Distant views to the Moritzberg near Lauf and over to the Houbirg. Well developed! Rest benches to linger and enjoy
