Falkenštejn Rock Castle

Highlight • Castle

Everyone really comes up here. The "innovations" made of steel and iron are somewhat exaggerated. Unfortunately there is no real Felsenburg atmosphere.
Beautiful view.

Rudolfstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Rudolfstein, named after Prince Rudolf Kinský, offers the most beautiful view in Dittersbacher Schweiz.
Attention: narrow, steep ascent! One should be fearless and take small children by the hand.

June 25, 2023,Böhmische Schweiz 🇨🇿: Jetřichovice - Rudolfstein - Wilhelminenwand ⛰️ - Marienfelsen - zurück
The starting point of the hike was Jetřichovice. In the picturesque village there are beautiful half-timbered houses. Jetřichovice is well prepared for tourism.

Past the restored and colorful baroque church of St. John of Nepomuk went out of town. First you come to a cat bench. The forest path then led to a forest chapel from 1840.

A very interesting tour with challenging passages. You should not be afraid of heights to get to the viewpoints on the summits.

From Jetrichovice to the MariaSkala on to the WilhelminenWand and the Rudolphstein! Beautiful demanding tour with unique nature

Nice hike in the neighboring country.

Unfortunately the pictures don't match the places where they were taken because my camera, unlike my cell phone, doesn't have a GPS module. 🤷‍♂️

When I asked my root dwarf where he would like to go hiking again, I got the answer "There where you can eat Palacinken!". 😅
Ok, so much choice on Jetrichovice. We have been here before in autumn and apparently the Palacinken has stayed in our memories. This time, however, we designed the tour a little differently. First we headed …

Today we're heading to the striking viewpoints at Jetrichovice, Marienfelsen, Wilhelminenwand and Rudolfstein. Lots of steps, up and down, a small reward at the end. 🐱
