Bastei und Zankelstein
Hiking Highlight
Tips
- Biene
The whole ridge 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's very nice up there in autumn too.

Very nice place with benches to rest, take a breath and enjoy the view. The view is worth the climb.

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

From the bastion you have a wonderful view of the Pegnitz Valley, the needles of the Zankelstein are worth seeing.

Beautiful climbing rock above Pommelsbrunn. The lookout point of the Bastei is 100 meters next to it. In good weather you can see as far as Nuremberg.

Great viewpoint! But a little scrambling and absolute surefootedness are required if you want to get to the top of the rocks 😉.

nice view. But very busy on a Sunday so it is better to go on another day. Especially if you want to go straight to the Zankelstein.
