It's a shame, but that's probably typical for us Germans these days. We have to fight for the opening. Man, open it again. Unfortunately, I don't remember it being open anymore. It must have been very nice here once.

The buildings are picturesquely integrated into the rock, something that is a feast for the eyes. Stamp point EB.

At a height of 292 meters, it towers majestically above the Polenz Valley, which is 115 meters below, and offers hikers magnificent views that will remain in their memories for a long time. The climb to Hockstein is an adventure in itself. The Wolfsschlucht captivates hikers with its narrow crevices and many stairs. Here the path sometimes leads through narrow crevices, sometimes around the corners of impressive rock formations - an exciting experience that increases the anticipation of the summit with every step. However, if you are looking for a less challenging route, we recommend the easy climb over the historic Devil's Bridge, which was built in 1821 and is therefore considered one of the first tourist structures in Saxon Switzerland. Once at the top, the Hockstein rewards you with a breathtaking panoramic view. Hohenstein Castle stands proudly on the opposite side and seems to be within reach of the viewer. The Polenztal stretches out in all its splendor, a natural painting that invites you to linger and dream. A lovingly built shelter is available for protection from sudden changes in the weather or for a comfortable rest. Here you can enjoy the food you brought with you in peace and let your gaze wander.

The Hockstein is 291 meters high and you can see almost 100 meters deep into the Polenztal. The descent from Hohenstein through the Wolfsschlucht is wonderful. The steps lead down the narrow rocky gorge with vertical rock walls on long, narrow steel stairs.

Wonderful viewing point far away from the hustle and bustle around the Bastei Bridge. From the Hockstein you can look into the Polenztal and Hohnstein Castle. Tip: Descend into the Polenztal via the narrow stairs in the narrow Wolfsschlucht.

Nice view of the Polenztal. Ascent to the Hockstein with dogs is possible, but seen as a dead end, since the descent via the Wolfsschlucht is not dog-friendly.

At a height of 291 m, the Hockstein offers a magnificent view of the Polenztal, 115 m below. The transition from the Lusatian thrust to the sandstone is particularly clear here: granite upstream, sandstone downstream. The remains of a medieval fortification are located on the Hockstein. Today's stone bridge dates back to 1821 and is one of the first tourist structures in Saxon Switzerland.
