About Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz
Mit seinen Felsen, besonderen Landschaften und der Tatsache, dass natürliche Prozesse hier ungestört ablaufen können, bietet der Nationalpark sehr viele kostbare Lebensräume. Dazu gehören u. a. Felsriffe, naturnahe Kiefern- und Buchenwälder, Moore und Fließgewässer. All diese Lebensräume der Sächsischen Schweiz, die die Grundlage für ihre hohe Artenvielfalt bilden, sind abhängig vom verfügbaren geologischen Substrat, der Geomorphologie, der allgemeinen Höhenlage und dem damit verbundenen Makroklima. Damit auch wir Menschen diese schützenswerte Natur erleben können, gibt es über 400 km markierte Wanderwege und gut 50 km Radwege im Nationalpark.
Bitte informiert euch vor der Wanderung unter nationalpark-saechsische-schweiz.de/wegeservice zu aktuellen Wegeeinschränkungen. Bei Fragen, Kommentaren, Hinweisen etc. sind wir per E-Mail unter nationalpark-digital@smekul.sachsen.de zu erreichen.
Viel Spaß beim Wandern und Radfahren!

On the 130 meter high Frienstein there was a castle guard of the Berken von der Duba in the 15th century; later owners were the Wettins. But robber barons also made their home. The Frienstein is therefore still called the front robbery castle today.
Directly on Frienstein there is a crevice and layer
