    The Königsstein is an old landmark on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. It lies at an altitude of 792 m on Sauweg and consists of 300 million years old mica schist. The name comes from "Königswarthischer Stein", the border mark of the Bohemian rule Königswarth, whose possession reached to this stone.

      The Königstein is an approximately 350 million year old block of primary rock on the border hiking trail. It has been known as a boundary stone since 1591. Today it marks the border with the Czech Republic.
