At 792.6 metres, the Lausche is the highest mountain in the Lusatian Mountains (and the highest mountain in Germany east of the Elbe).

Its symbolic source lies at an altitude of 1,386 m above sea level. It is enclosed in a brick ring with inflow and outflow, and its stone-paved surroundings offer benches for relaxation. In 1968, a wall of rough rock was added, bearing the coats of arms of 26 important cities through which the Elbe flows on its way to the North Sea.

A very beautiful sight

Unfortunately, the viewing point on the Johannesstein can now only be used by hotel guests.

The rock formations are located on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. They are called "Svinské kameny" in Czech, "Trzy Świnki" in Polish, and "Sausteine" in German.

The Pig Stones, in Polish Trzy Świnki and in Czech Svinské kameny, are a distinctive granite rock formation in the western part of the Silesian Ridge of the Giant Mountains, on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. The Pig Stones are located in the immediate vicinity of the ridge path, about 400 meters northwest of the Twarożnik (Cheese Cliff). A green marked hiking trail leads from there to the Horse Headstones (Końskie Łby) and around the Reifträger Peak. The rock formation was created by natural weathering processes of the granite, which took place over millions of years and created the characteristic shapes of the Pig Stones. The name "Pig Stones" derives from the rocks' resemblance to three pigs lying next to each other. There are various local legends that explain the formation and naming of the rock formation. The Pig Stones offer impressive views of the surrounding landscape and are a worthwhile destination for hikes in the Giant Mountains.
