Stone Lion (Saxon Switzerland)

Highlight • Monument

Discovered by chance, opposite the Stone Lions you can sit down on a stone bench carved out of the rock and enjoy the view of the 🦁 while taking a break.

Yellow Bench at the Kaiserkrone Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located directly below the northernmost vantage point (view of the Schrammsteinen/Gr.Winterberg/Elbtal). If you climb down the long iron stairs and then turn left around the rock, you will come to this hidden resting place.

Zirkelstein Summit

Highlight • Summit
