The Lilienstein adorns the logo of the Saxon Switzerland National Park, which was founded in 1991. The table mountain towers high above the Elbe valley and is so striking and impressive that Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, climbed it in 1708. We still use the steps carved into the rock for this purpose today on the southern ascent.
