Hiking

From up here you have a fantastic view of Pillnitz Castle and beyond into the Elbe Valley, up to the Ore Mountains.

Hiking

The artificial ruin is located about 500 meters north of the well-known baroque Pillnitz palace complex. It was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1785 on a hill above the Friedrichsgrund. The symbol of transience can be understood as a successful and conscious addition to the castle.

Beautiful, but visiting early in the morning is almost empty
