    Although the Hercules Columns are the figurehead on some hiking maps in the area, you mostly move away from the tourist streams to reach the bizarre rock towers.
    Fortunately, for forest trail hikers, they are right on the edge of the path.

      I've been to Saxon Switzerland very often. But never at the Hercules Columns. Just amazing, you have to see it. Highly recommended.

        The last highlight is the Herkulessäulen with the subsequent descent.
        The prehistoric panorama, what you get through the upstanding columns is very beautiful, in addition to the stone stunt through the pillared gorge in Bielatal then forms a great conclusion.
