    With this fortress, which was impregnable at the time, master builder Vauban created a masterpiece.
    Another fortress of similar size, also impregnable, he built in
    Besançon/ France.

      Great view, when the weather is nice. The largest Elbe loop on its way through the country is impressive. Dresden, the Bastei and the Lilienstein are just a few of the highlights. 😇

        The Königstein Fortress is definitely worth a (day) trip.
