If the view is right, there is a great panoramic view of Saxon Switzerland, towards the Ore Mountains and into Bohemia. At 644m above sea level the highest point of the Pirna district.
Afterwards you can have a delicious coffee, cappuccino, cake or various soups at "Börnis Einkehr" in town on the weekend! Delicious!
Those who want to extend the excursion a little can simply hike through wet meadows over to the Czech Republic to the "Dpicak". There is still a small cave to explore and the view from the summit cross into the Czech lowlands is even more impressive. Even in winter a nice hike (watch out, often wind, dress warmly)

This was once the highest vantage point in the old district of Saxon Switzerland. Easy to reach and with a fantastic view from the Dresden Elbe Valley to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Eastern Ore Mountains.

From a distance, a rather inconspicuous meadow hilltop with an artificial earth pyramid, which can, however, come up with a unique panorama when the weather is clear: the Sattelberg, the Kahleberg and Geisingberg near Altenberg, the Elbe valley and a great distant view of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
