Robin's Steps

Highlight • Climb

The robin staircase is undoubtedly one of the loveliest stairs and kids have fun as well. Easily usable as fast descent to Schmilka. Once at the top, the monkeys or the Schrammsteine are at your feet.

Nimmersatt-Tor Rock Arch

Can be found on the path between Starkestiege and Rotkehlchenstiege. The further route requires surefootedness and a head for heights.

Grandfather's Chair (Großvaterstuhl)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The grandfather chair is located on the Upper Terrace Trail (Oberer Terrassenweg).
From here you have a wonderful view of the Schmilkaer Kessel.
At the viewpoint, you will see a sandstone block carved out as a seating area, after which the place is certainly named. The Upper Terrace Trail begins in the east at the upper end of the Heilige Stiege. It is crossed by the Rotkehlchenstiege and the Starke Stiege.
The trail ends at the Breiten Kluft. The trail is marked as a climbing access with a black arrow along its entire course. So it is not a normal hiking trail.

Schmilka Village

Highlight • Settlement

The small town is located right before the Czech border. The old half-timbering and the well-preserved facades make it a feast for the eyes. Many small attractions await you on the short route through the town. There are also plenty of opportunities to linger and refresh yourself here.
