    Hiking

    Königstein Fortress.
    Parking lot below the fortress. This can then be reached on foot or by the fortress railway. Once at the top you can get into the fortress by elevator or on foot.

    Hiking

    The original patrol path does not lead over the castle battlements along the fortress wall, as is usually wrongly named, but below the fortress. The patrol path was created in 1805 for patrols and building inspections below the castle.

    Hiking

    When wet, the large, smooth stones can become slippery
