    Tips

    A bit more difficult to find, if you walk about 50m to the right along the road from the lower hiking car park (not from the viewing car park), you will come to a national park stone. This is where the somewhat overgrown hiking trail to the Carolastein and the cave begins. The cave is down the valley towards the river Polenz, and the best way to reach it is to always keep to the base of the rocks. path available! Be careful at the large entrance to the cave, after a ledge it goes down 5-6m. And it's very sandy there.

      Coming from the south, the cave is still quite easy to reach. The path is also clearly visible here. From the north, a narrow rock band leads to the cave, which requires absolute surefootedness and a head for heights. A little-known but very challenging climb leads through the cave to the summit of the Carolastein

        From the Carola Cave you can climb directly to the summit of the Carola Stone. The path leads through a very steep and narrow crevice - pure adventure.
