At 342 meters, the Napoleon Stone is the third highest elevation in the city of Dresden. The view that can be expected from the mountain is said to have prompted Napoleon to explore the area from here before the battle of Dresden on July 28, 1813. A memorial stone commemorates the incident. Enjoy the wonderful view over the Wachwitzer heights on the eastern part of Dresden, towards Pirna-Sonnenstein and to the north on the Westlausitzer Höhenzug.
