    Hiking

    One of the imposing rock formations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The rocks of the Katzenstein on the Roßsteig should not be confused with the much larger Katzstein, which is located near Cunnersdorf.

    Hiking

    Climbing up is hard, going down is even harder.

    Hiking

    Next to the Katzenstein is a smaller rock that is ideal for a short break.
    From here you can reach the Richterschlüchte and the ascent to the Winterberg.
