Carola Rock View

Viewpoint/viewing tower
Famous viewpoint in the Affensteinen with sweeping views of the Schrammsteine, Lilienstein and Elbe valley - impressive at any time of year.
The Carola Rock is one of the most famous viewpoints in the Affensteinen. It owes its name to Saxony's last queen, Carola von Wasa-Holstein-Gottorp.

The view is located in the middle of the Saxon Switzerland National Park between the Schrammsteine and the Kirnitzschtal valley.

The impressive panoramic view over the rugged rocky landscape is a popular photo motif. At sunset in autumn or in winter with fresh snow, the motif towards is particularly impressive.

From the plateau, striking destinations such as the Schrammstein chain, the Falkenstein and Lilienstein can be seen.

The Carola Rock can be reached on varied routes via steps and narrow passages.

The expansive view is freely accessible all year round. Only recommended in winter in icy conditions with appropriate equipment.
