A striking table mountain and rewarding panoramic peak in the heart of Saxon Switzerland.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit plateau, including steep stairways. The ascent via the Falkenschlucht gorge through the middle of a narrow crevice is adventurous.
On reaching the top, there are various viewpoints offering views of neighboring mountains such as the Papststein, Pfaffenstein and Lilienstein.
On the eastern side of Gohrisch, there is an old soapstone gallery that is now disused. In the surrounding area, traces of a small basalt quarry bear witness to earlier uses of the rock.
Gohrisch is easy to reach and is located directly on several popular hiking trails. Its location makes it particularly suitable for day trips or as a stopover on longer tours. Gohrisch is part of the sixth stage of the famous Malerweg, one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Germany.
Gohrisch is a good photo spot, especially at sunrise or sunset at the viewpoints at the pavilion in the east and at the weather vane in the west.
