The ascent to the tower 1.,- p.E. It's worth it for us, great view from the tower. Next to the tower also a public toilet. Good refreshment possible in the restaurant.

There is also a small circular route on Schwedenstein with very nice views of the mountainous landscape, the town of Steina, the town of Pulsnitz with the Keulenberg in the background and other surrounding places. This round is particularly attractive in winter on foot or on cross-country skis when everything is covered in deep snow.
