Tips

Beyond the Horizon

September 19, 2023

The circular route allows you to walk around the entire summit area and enjoy a wide variety of perspectives on the surrounding landscape.

The climb to the summit of the Lilienstein can be done from different sides, with all paths leading through dense forests and past impressive sandstone formations. Once you have reached the summit, the summit circular route offers a unique opportunity to experience the diversity and beauty of this striking mountain in all its glory.

During the circular route, new views of the Elbe landscape, neighboring table mountains and deep gorges open up again and again. In clear weather, you can even see as far away as Dresden. The combination of towering rocks, gentle meadows and the view makes the circular route an unforgettable experience.

In addition, several information boards and historical remains of fortifications bear witness to the important history of the Lilienstein. A few benches along the path invite you to linger and offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy the silence and the impressive view.

The summit circular trail is well signposted and can be completed by most hikers without any major difficulties. However, sturdy shoes should be worn as there are some uneven and steep sections.

A really great circular route over the Lilienstein with many highlights in different places, starting with the great view on the north ascent in the direction of Rathen/Bastei & Brand, over the east view at the Wetter Kiefer, the Drachenhöhle, the Rabenbad, the obelisks and the remains of the castle in height of the restaurant. The absolute highlight, of course, is the view on the west side from the popular photo spot on the western tip.

It's really worth walking this path in the roundabout. Starting at the restaurant behind the toilets, we head north downhill and from there to the Wetterpine at the eastern tip of the Lilienstein. Then we go past the obelisks and views on the south side back to the restaurant.
