Hiking
At the beginning of the 19th century, the area of the Papstein was under the control of the Royal Saxon Forest Administration, which in 1829 had parts of the summit plateau cut down to create a better view. In 1830, the Saxon prince (and later king) Friedrich August climbed the Pope's stone and thus laid the foundation for a greater tourist interest in the mountain with a great view.
