Fuchskanzel Viewpoint and Royal Saxon Triangulation Station

Highlight • Viewpoint

Those who choose the path from the Czech Republic should have staying power, the views and the historic stone will compensate.

Clearly; the view towards Hochwald and Fuchskanzel. If you like old quarries here is also served well.

Highlight • Natural Monument

15 m high sandstone rock horseshoe stone (Podkova), which resembles a head with helmet remotely. This overhanging rock tower, with its jagged summit, was probably named after some horseshoe recesses …

Through the gate it is nicer than on the gravel road, unfortunately only a short way.

July 27, 2022,Popova skála (Pfaffenstein) – Blick zum Hochwald Runde von Luftkurort Lückendorf
