The Papststein is a 451 meter high table mountain in the Saxon Switzerland on the left. The ascent is possible from two sides. There is a mountain inn and an even higher fire tower with a fantastic view. Forestry hikers follow the Malerweg on the descent.

You can get to the Papststein via many stairs and ladders...at the top there is a small restaurant with some very tasty regional dishes. You also have a great view.

It is a real highlight, especially in the evening, at sunset.

You don't have to be afraid of going down in the dark. The path to the car park at Papstdorf is lit.
