Heute haben wir einen keinen Ausflug ins benachbarte Sachsen zur Burg Schönfels unternommen. Bei der Anfahrt war die Burg schon von Weitem als markante Landmarke zu sehen. Wikipedia schreibt: "Sie wurde auf einem Felssporn aus Diabasgestein im 12. Jahrhundert als Zentrum einer mittelalterlichen Kolonisation und Feudalsitz errichtet. Im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert erhielt die Burg eine Umgestaltung im Stil der Spätgotik und Renaissance." Auf der Burg gibt ein sehr interessantes Museum, wo auch mit Ratespielen an die kleinen Besucher gedacht wurde. Wer vom Erkunden hungrig geworden ist, kann sich anschießend in der Burggaststätte stärken. Wir waren begeistert von der Burg Schönfels und können einen Besuch der historischen Mauern wärmstens empfehlen.

The Alpine path climbed steeply between impressive rock formations. From there, we were already able to enjoy the beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen and the green landscape. Next came the Große and Kleine Organ (Great and Small Organ) and the rock formations: St. Bernard, Rhino 🦏, and Lion 🦁.

A second fond childhood memory of a vacation in Northern Bohemia is a "rock castle" near Sloup.
There are various legends about the use of the 40-meter-high sandstone rock. There may have once been a castle at the foot of the rock.
Other sources speak of the construction of a castle on the sandstone rock

As children, we vacationed with our parents in Kamenický Śenov. A wonderful memory of those wonderful times is a basalt rock that was found not far from the village.
About 45 years later, it captivated me again, and like the little girl I did back then, I climbed around among the pentagonal and hexagonal basalt columns.

"The ruins of an old castle and monastery sit enthroned on the mighty rocky massif of Mount Oybin. Soft chants can be heard in the former church, as if the monks were still there. A stunning backdrop that has inspired painters and poets centuries ago. The

What a sight! Entering this green and expansive park, you discover a true "fairytale castle" 🏰
