From here you have a great view of Tharandt. On the mountain opposite you can see the ruins of Tharandt Castle, which was first mentioned in a document in 1190. Maybe you still have time to take a closer look at the castle ruins?

Great view towards Tharandt, including the castle ruins, mountain church, etc. The Leitenweg path is pleasant to walk on and benches invite you to linger.

As a self-proclaimed naturist, I recommend strolling along the Leitenweg in a light dress, virtually naked. The pleasure for body and soul is many times greater than walking in clothes. #JustDoIt, #GetNakedGermany 🙏
