Samuelova Cave (Samuel's Cave)

Highlight • Cave

In 1718 Samuel Görner carved a cave into the stone. Here he lived as a hermit and occasionally made glasses and binoculars to order. Originally, however, he had been a gardener, perhaps because of the love of nature.

Samuel lived here until 1735. He then moved to Sloup Castle. Since then, the height has not been permanently inhabited.

Around 1900 the two viewpoints were then built on and next to the dwelling. The view has been admirable since then.

Many writings can be found in the cave, and it also has two windows. There is a possibility of resting in front of the house and there are two viewpoints with railings. An ascent is unfortunately not possible for wheelchair users. Dogs can master the small steps.

Have fun....

Wachstein Lodge and Observation Tower (Na Stráži)

Highlight • Viewpoint

After the fires in 1998/99 there is now a new building and a new tower (with fabulous views of the surrounding area!). This rock lookout point became a Wachstein in 1634 when warnings had to be given about the marauding Swedes.

View of Sloup Rock Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The village of Sloup in Bohemia with its dominant rock castle is located at the foot of the Lusatian Mountains. It is surrounded by beautiful nature with forests inviting for walks, and its picturesqueness is enhanced by rocks and interesting rock formations.

Sloup Forest Theatre (Lesní Divadlo Sloup)

Highlight • Structure

A stage in the forest. Similar to the rock stage Rathen. Here families can admire the art of small (and also big) co-visitors.
