Hiking

World Heritage Site by UNESCO: the Lion's Rock also called the Cloud Palace. Proud 1360 steps lead us to the 200-meter-high monolith, which was built in the 5th century and for many years served as a rock fortress.

Hiking

Lion Rock in Sigiriya, 1200 steps to reach the summit, but it is really worth it, ... moving, I recommend you take a guide that explains a bit of things and take you to visit the most picturesque corners. Get water, there are no springs along the way, and do not go there in hot weather, dehydration could play tricks on you.

Those who take the path up to the Löwenfels will be rewarded with a wonderful view. It is not cheap, however, so many backpackers use another rock with a view of the Löwenfels.
