    Hiking

    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

    Katzenstein in the Tharandt Forest.

    Information:

    It has borne this name since 1740 and originates from a legend according to which a hunter was fatally injured by a wildcat here. The Katzenstein, bearing the year 1740, is part of the survey of the Saxon boundary stones marked with crossed swords and dates.
