Corrected the name of this highlight from "Witches' Staircase" to the correct title "Ladder to Heaven". (See "The Zeisigwald: Forays through nature and history" / Museum of Natural History Chemnitz). The ladder to heaven overcomes the first 9 meters of altitude for a total of 30m ascent to the Fuchsberg (398m).

Hiking

In the Zeisigwald there are not only paths. ;-) There is a rest area below the stairs.
