Hiking

The castle Hohnstein is the last completely preserved of the rechtselbischen castles. Originally built as a frontier fortress of Bohemia against Saxony, this went from 1806 to the possession of Kursachsen. Since then, the castle was repeatedly used as a prison until the Second World War. Since the time of the GDR, the castle has hosted a youth hostel and a history and natural history museum.

Hiking

Climbing the tower is free. Nice view from the top.

Hiking

An unknown place and yet so worth seeing. Not least because of its eventful history, even in the Nazi era.
But also because of the beautiful views in the sandstone rock and the castle tower.
