    From 1740 onwards, the Katzenstein marked the border of the Electoral and, from 1806, Royal Saxon State Forest, which runs along the Rodelandbach, to what is still known today as the "Herrenbusch" of the Albertsche Rittergut in Naundorf. This came into state ownership in 1905, as did the Niederschöna forestry district built by the manor in 1824

      Info:

      It has had its name since 1740.
      Its name goes back to a legend
      according to which a hunter was fatally injured here by a wildcat.


      The Katzenstein, with its
      date 1740, belongs to the survey
      of the Electorate of Saxony boundary stones with
      electoral swords and dates.
