Worth seeing
Magnificent views can be found on the Dittersbacher Wänden, on the rocks with the poetic names Marienfelsen, Wilhelminenwand and Rudolfstein.
Marienfelsen (428 m) - The original fire lookout point was made accessible to hikers in 1856 by Ferdinand Kinsky, who named the rock after his wife Marie Anna Kinsky, a native princess of Liechtenstein. From 2007, visitors were once again able to enjoy the view from the high cliffs from a wooden pavilion after a fire caused by careless tourists destroyed the original pavilion in September 2005.

The Wilhelminenwand (442 m) was originally called the "Black Wall". However, this name has almost been forgotten. The wall was later named after Princess Wilhelmine Kinsky, Rudolf Kinsky's wife. The rock was made accessible in the middle of the 19th century and a wooden pavilion was erected on it. It was modeled on a hermitage, but no longer stands today.

The Rudolfstein (484 m), also called Ostroh and formerly "Hoher Stein", has borne the name of Prince Rudolf Kinsky since 1824, who visited the rock at the time and later had a shelter built there. From the highest rock, you have a unique panoramic view of the landscape of Bohemian Switzerland. A path leads to the summit and towards the end there is a challenging climb over stone steps.
