    Tips

    There used to be five large cisterns on the Königstein for collecting rainwater, mostly in rock sinks. The large cistern probably already existed at the time of the medieval castle complex. To avoid falling leaves and evaporation, the cistern was covered with a roof in 1897. It was also surrounded by a seepage layer that filtered the inflowing water. Today it serves as a fire water reservoir.
