The Zigeunerstuben/Zigeunerwand rock group is located on a small wooded hill above the southwest edge of Jonsdorf, about 300 meters northeast of the Nonnenfelsen. Its name reminds us that gypsies were said to have camped here in earlier times.

Kelchstein (Chalice Rock)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Great sandstone formation in the Zittau Mountains. It is one of the most difficult climbing rocks in the mountains. If you are lucky enough to see mountaineers trying to conquer the rock, you should take the time to watch them. It is very interesting what kind of athletic performance is necessary.

The district Brückendorf is the only German town located on the south side of the mountain range. The surrounding mountains are the Hochwald (at 749 m above sea level . NN highest mountain in the municipality and second highest mountain in the Zittau Mountains), the Töpfer, the Ameisenberg, the Brandhöhe and the Scharfenstein." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oybin

Ruins of Oybin Castle and Monastery

Highlight • Castle

A beautiful place with huge round boulders and the magnificent castle complex, where there is so much to discover! You should take your time to explore everything. I particularly liked the rock walk, with its beautiful views of the surrounding area, idyllic benches and narrow places to squeeze through. In this rocky environment, plants still find their place and trees wrap their roots around the boulders to get a hold.
