The Lilienstein is one of the most striking mountains in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony. It is the only table mountain on the right bank of the Elbe and is the symbol of the Saxon Switzerland National Park. The Lilienstein belongs to the area of Waltersdorf, a district of Bad Schandau. It is located about 5 kilometers west of Bad Schandau and about 15 kilometers east of Pirna in a 180° bend of the Elbe River, which flows around the mountain on three sides. At the eastern foot of the mountain lies the Sellnitz estate, which houses the youth education center of the Saxon Switzerland National Park. To the south of the mountain are the houses belonging to the Königstein district of Ebenheit. At the western foot of the mountain runs the "Kaiserstraße" road, lined with striking poplar trees. Due to its distinctive shape and isolated location, the mountain is a well-known landmark of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. See: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilienstein
