    Hiking

    The Abratzky chimney, named after the chimney sweep Sebastian Abratzky, is a wide crevice on the east side of the high fortress wall. Abratzky had come to Königstein on his wandering in 1848. Since he was supposed to pay the entrance fee for the planned tour of the fortress, the 17-year-old, who was looking for work, decided to climb the Königstein. After an hour and a half he had climbed the rock chimney on the outer wall, where he was immediately arrested by guards. Brought to the commandant, he was interrogated and then arrested.

    Sebastian Abratzky climbed the fortress wall here, which is why the rock was named after him.
