Wheelchair route: "At Königstein Fortress"

After purchasing entrance tickets at the counter, you immediately go next door into the interior of the mountain and take the large freight elevator (operated by your elevator attendant) to the fortress plateau. The further course of the circular route is predetermined by the fortress wall. If the sometimes quite narrow Postenweg becomes too tight, there is often the possibility to bypass the passage on an alternative route further inside. Otherwise, the return path and the subsequent drive to the following viewpoints via the connecting paths from the center of the fortress plateau remain. However, the northwest section of the circular route between Friedrichsburg and the building complex above the fortress gate (gatehouse) has several steps at three different places (sometimes around a tight corner) and is also a very narrow passage, so it is not accessible by wheelchair. However, a short detour on this section opens a nice view over the Elbe valley with Friedrichsburg. At the end, you should definitely walk through the central fortress grounds past the well house to the Horn with the Seigerturm, as from here you look directly down onto the fortifications protecting the historical access to the fortress. Finally, you easily reach the large terrace with smooth sandstone slabs and the freight elevator again, which brings you down to the parking lot.
