Please note: The Honigsteinkopf is a climbing rock! The paths there are not hiking trails, but climbing approaches as access routes for climbers. Thank you very much!

@Dirk What you're saying is absolutely nonsense. Any marked trail in the core zone is permitted. This includes climbing approaches. These aren't recommended for everyone, as surefootedness is often required...you can always take the easier paths. But one thing is certain: It's permitted!!!

Beyond the Horizon

September 20, 2023

A mysterious place where the elements meet and climbers get closer to the sky. Here, far from the beaten hiking trails, there is access to impressive climbing rocks that point like fingers to the sky and represent a unique challenge for all those who want to explore their limits. Under the careful care of the Saxon Switzerland National Park Administration, this place remains an authentic paradise for adventurers. But be careful: this path is not a conventional hiking trail. It is a silent promise of nature, adrenaline and limitless freedom and is only intended as an entrance to the climbing rock.
