View of the Affensteine

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view of the monkey stones during the ascent from the lower Affensteinweg. Clearly visible is the large gap between Bloßstock and the Kreuzturm. Subsequently then Morsche and Wrong Pinnacle, Bauerlochboofe and Nonnengärtner up to the Häntzschelstiege

Bloßstock Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The whole way along the Affensteine is worth it. After the nun's gardener, turn right (coming from the north) to get back on the path to the Wild Hell.

Häntzschelstiege (Saxon Switzerland National Park)

Highlight • Climb

One of the most beautiful via ferratas in the area. Not difficult, but not to be underestimated.

A via ferrata set is highly recommended (you never know...).

Descent via Wilde Hölle is possible.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Short but crisp via ferrata that partly through Difficulty B. Beware of oncoming people. Although prohibited, the signage is often not adhered to here.
Great panorama!

Today first tour in Saxon Switzerland. In Bad Schandau we went to Kirnitzschtalstrasse, always along the tram 🚋. But we drove to the Beuthenfall parking lot. There up to the entrance to the lower Häntzschelstiege.
A little climbing is required to get started.
Even if there are people who travel without safety equipment, we were equipped with a via ferrata …
