Explorer tour with a certified national park guide

The day draws to a close and the sun illuminates the rocks one last time. While nature goes to rest, we tackle the last few meters of altitude of the day. From lesser-known vantage points, we let our eyes wander over the Lilienstein, Königstein Fortress and the Elbe valley. Up here is the perfect place to pause and watch the sun slowly set. On the way back, we may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the wildlife. For safety, we recommend carrying a flashlight or headlamp.

Meeting point: Felsenwelt fountain in the spa town of Rathen, Zum Grünbach 13
Time: about 2 hours before sunset
Duration: approx. 3 hours
Certified national park guides: Robert Wilhelm or Knut König
