About 5 kilometers from Königstein Fortress, there is a real rock labyrinth in a small forest.

The rugged stone world is so twisted and mysterious that the locals named the rock group Labyrinth. For children, crawling through the labyrinth is great fun; for adults, it might be a bit tight in some places. The route is easy to find. A forest trail ("Green Dot") leads about 500 meters from the parking lot to the entrance of the rock labyrinth. Numbers in ascending order mark the way over ladders and through some narrow rock crevices, caves, and passageways. No one has to be afraid of getting lost, yet it remains exciting until the end. Climbing onto the small plateau is also possible. Here, children are offered one of the largest natural adventure playgrounds in Saxon Switzerland.
