    Thanks to the depression between Pfaffenstein and Königsstein, you have a great panoramic view of the famous fortress from here.

      On the left the Quirl, with its 350 meters high, on the right the Königstein Fortress, which is one of the largest mountain fortresses in Europe. Just a beautiful view.

        A quick look back at the fortress before the ascent to Pfaffenstein is always worthwhile.
