The northern ascent of the Lilienstein is one of the most impressive ways to reach the summit of this striking table mountain in Saxon Switzerland. This trail not only offers a sporting challenge, but also a variety of natural and cultural experiences.

Directions:

The northern ascent begins gently, leading through dense, cool forests and offering occasional views of the Elbe valley through the treetops. As you climb higher and higher, the path becomes steeper and the vegetation changes. Far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the climb becomes a meditative experience, accompanied by the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves.

Soon the first sandstone rocks for which Saxon Switzerland is so famous appear. The trail winds its way between impressive rock faces and towers, offering fascinating insights into nature's art of erosion.

Some sections of the northern ascent are secured by stairs and climbing facilities, which gives the trail an adventurous character. Every step brings the hiker closer to the summit and promises an ever more impressive view.

View and experience:

Before you reach the summit, the northern ascent already offers numerous viewpoints. The views open up to the Elbe valley, the surrounding table mountains and the depths of the forests. In particular, the perspective of the flowing ribbon of the Elbe, surrounded by green meadows and dense forests, is an unforgettable sight.

With every meter of altitude gained, the anticipation of the panorama from the summit of the Lilienstein increases. And when you finally reach the top, you are rewarded with a 360-degree view that makes you forget all the effort.
