Liethenbachgrund and Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This reason, in which the Liethenbach flows, has to be crossed on the way from the Papststein to the Kohlbornstein and vice versa. Small sandstone bridge as a transition option.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The climb is definitely worth it. Once at the top, a great panoramic view awaits you.

The 378 m high Kohlbornstein, which lies somewhat off the typical tourist paths, is particularly worth climbing because of its wide panoramic panorama. If the visibility is good, the Rosenberg can also be seen in Bohemian.

Kohlbornstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent leads over wooden and stone steps, over the rocky ridge to the north-eastern tip of the rock. There is a wonderful panorama there.
An unjustly, quite unknown peak.
