Kaiserkrone

The Kaiserkrone consists of three platforms, the northern with a view to the Schrammsteinen and in the front Saxon Switzerland, the middle with the weather vane facing west and the southern with the antenna with a view to Zirkelstein.

You can combine the Zirkelstein and the imperial crown wonderfully as a half-day tour. Since the route is manageable and the ascent is not too strenuous, the hike is ideal as a family trip (even for smaller children - but without a baby carriage!).

Look is just as great as the circular stone, but the fact that the rock is more ventilated makes it even more impressive

Imperial Crown (a heavily abraded and rugged remainder of a Table Mountain).
Opposite is the Zirkelstein, the smallest table mountain in the Saxon Switzerland (Source: Wikipedia).

The rest of a Table Mountain near Schöna. It consists of three peaks that you can climb all.

It is not far from the Zirkelstein to the Imperial Crown. It is only 30 m smaller than the Zirkelstein and camouflaged by vegetation, but worth climbing.

Nice view, climb over stairs, but also a lot of people.

"The Kaiserkrone is a heavily abraded and jagged remnant of a table mountain, which rises together with the Zirkelstein above the flatness of Schöna, directly on the outskirts in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony.

Extended rock fissures resulted in three single, climbable rocks, the three peaks of the crown, which belong to the large sandstone step c3 of the Oberturon. At the genesis or destruction of the 350.8 m above sea level. NN high rock plateaus, humans were also involved through their presence. Two lions have been carved out of the southern rock by unknown artists. "- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiserkrone_(Berg)

In Schöna there is a trail parking lot, from which the imperial crown can be reached well with small mountain heroes 👍

ideal for tours with children

Panoramic circular hiking trail
From the summit there is a great panoramic view to the north to the Schrammsteinen, to the east to Bohemian Switzerland, to the south to the Zschirnstein.

The view of nature, especially in spring when rapeseed is blooming, is wonderful. And here stood Caspar David Friedrich to get views for his famous work "The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog" ...

The imperial crown rises conspicuously over the surrounding countryside around Schöna, you can easily climb it and get a great view over the Elbe, to the Schrammstones, to Bohemia and up to the Zschierstones.
