Be patient, as it can get very crowded. There are also one or two spots where space is very tight.

Sauenstein Ladder Ascent

Highlight • Climb

The climb to the castle is, however, an adventure.
To reach the summit, you have to climb several ladders and steep stairs set into a narrow crevice in the rock. …

June 4, 2025,🐕 Kleines Prebischtor und Schauenstein

A beautiful hike, even suitable for large dogs.
Please bring plenty of water for your dogs, as there are no drinking fountains.

Great panoramic trail with tough climbs, beautiful chilled passages and a mystical path at the end.

May 24, 2025,Rainwiese-->Kleines Prebischtor-->Felsenburg Schauenstein

A nice, not too difficult route, and apart from the well-known spots, the small Prebischtor and Saunstein, there were hardly any people around. Lunch with a drink for €12 per person isn't available anywhere else in Germany.
Not recommended with a stroller.

Mezní Louka - Small Prebischtor - Schauenstein - Hohenleipa...

The Schauenstein was and will certainly not be climbable in the foreseeable future.
You can't see that anything is being done there to change this situation.

Actually very unfortunate...

October 30, 2021,Kleines Prebischtor - Runde ab Rainwiese

Unfortunately, the ascent to the Schauenstein was not possible due to maintenance work and the last part of the loop through the Soorgrund [officially not recommended route] was not without danger because of the many freshly fallen trees. Still a nice autumn round, not too long.

April 8, 2024,Kraxeltour Sauenstein - kleines Prebischtor

We actually wanted to hike to the gorge, but the path was closed, so we just started walking. Later we discovered the Sauenstein and the small Prebischtor on the possible return route. So we chose this route back, without knowing what kind of climbing routes lay ahead of us. In the end we mastered everything, even though some sections were …

March 26, 2024,🇨🇿Nationalpark Böhmische Schweiz: Mezna Louka - Rauschenberg - Kleines Prebischtor – Šaunštejn - Hohenleipa

Today I was traveling in the Czech Republic again. From Mezni Louka we went over the Rauschenberg. The wind was blowing so hard here that I had to be careful that the remaining trees didn't fall too. In general, I have rarely had a tour like this where so much was damaged; here the full extent of the fire and …
