Großes-Pohlshorn view

Viewpoint/viewing tower
A 379-metre-high vantage point in the Saxon Switzerland National Park with a view of the Teichstein and Kanstein mountains.
The striking sandstone rock rises 379 meters above sea level. It is located in the protected area of the Saxon Switzerland National Park.

Access is via narrow paths that lead through mixed forest and rocky terrain. The ascent is stony in places and requires surefootedness.

From the summit, the view opens up over the Kirnitzschtal valley, the mountain ranges of the Großer Zschand and neighboring rock formations. The location is part of a branching network of paths.
