Hiking

The patrol path goes around the fortress once outside. It is a little lower than the fortress, but it also offers great views of the Elbe and the surrounding beautiful landscape.

Hiking

From Königstein you have a fantastic view of both the Elbe and in the direction of Pirna and Erzgebirge. There are 2 restaurants on the Königstein but with tourist fantasy prices and the queue to pick up without a menu (Radler 4,80). So better than earlier bread bags for hiking.

Hiking

I recommend taking a guided tour of the fortress because you learn a lot about what goes down if you go it alone.
