    Hiking

    The Papststein is a 451-meter-high table mountain in the Saxon Switzerland region on the left bank of the Elbe River. It can be ascended from two sides. There is a mountain inn and an even taller fire tower with fantastic views. Hikers on the Forststeig trail follow the Malerweg (Painters' Way) on the descent.
