Hiking

The Katzenstein is a natural monument and geotope near Eckersdorf. The sandstone block was prepared from the soft sandstone layers by natural weathering.

Hiking

The Katzenstein is a sandstone rock with interesting weathering. It used to be possible to climb it, with steps carved into the rock. A chain now hangs as a barrier at the natural monument.
