Alongside the Königstein Fortress, the Lilienstein is the most famous landmark in Saxon Switzerland. Followed by the Pfaffenstein with the legendary "Barberine". Remains of Lilienstein Castle can also be found on the Lilienstein. Whether south or north ascent, both ways are exciting. And the view is a reward for every effort to get up there. At Lilienstein and Pfaffenstein there are also one or two insider tips for relaxation and adventure. You should bring sturdy shoes and as little equipment as possible with you.

Once you have climbed the stairs up to Heideberg, a mountain path leads along above Königstein, which repeatedly offers a beautiful view over the Elbe to the Königstein Fortress.
