Der Pfaffenstein, auf Tschechisch Popova skála genannt, erhebt sich mit etwa 565 Metern Höhe im Grenzgebiet zwischen Deutschland und Tschechien. Er zählt zu den markantesten Felsformationen des Zittauer Gebirges und fällt schon von weitem durch seine bizarren Sandsteinblöcke und seine fast burgruinenhafte Gestalt auf. Der Aufstieg führt durch stille Wälder und über schmale Pfade, bevor sich auf dem Gipfelplateau ein großartiger Rundblick eröffnet: Über das Zittauer Gebirge hinweg reicht die Sicht weit nach Böhmen und – bei klarer Luft – bis zu den Kämmen des Iser- und Riesengebirges. Geologisch besteht der Pfaffenstein aus mächtigen Sandsteinwänden, durchzogen von Felsspalten, kleinen Höhlen und Felsentoren, die über Jahrmillionen durch Wind und Wasser geformt wurden. Bereits im 19. Jahrhundert zog dieser außergewöhnliche Felsen Wanderer und Kletterer an; 1907 wurde er erstmals mit einer Treppenanlage zugänglich gemacht.

Today, a small group climbed the Töpfer. The weather was perfect. At 582 meters high, the Töpfer is one of the most striking mountains in the Zittau Mountains. It is known for its unusual sandstone cliffs, which have taken on distinctive shapes due to weathering, including the Brooding Hen, the Parrot

High above the winding course of the Neckar River stands the Dilsberg – a defiant fortress and a testament to the Middle Ages. From afar, the town appears like a painting: fortified walls, red-tiled roofs, narrow alleys, and a tower proudly rising above the treetops. Those who pass through the mighty

The Brocken, also called "Blocksberg," is the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains at 1,141

From here, it first plunges over the Elbe Falls, the highest waterfall in the Czech Republic at 45 meters, and then cuts deep into the Giant Mountains. The resulting Elbe Valley extends up
