Today Spitzstein, Katzstein 🐈🪨 and Signal (that's what it's really called) were on my agenda. 👍
I took the S1 🚉 to Königstein and then the hiking bus 🚌 (a wonderful facility) to the start in Cunnersdorf.
The paths were easy to walk on and the rocks 🧗🏻‍♂️ could be reached safely via ladders and stone steps!

Today we went into the Saxon Switzerland. We started in drizzling rain, which quickly developed into a small sleet shower. However, this was only short-lived and afterwards the sun also shone directly, so that there was a wonderful forest steam to admire everywhere in the woods. 🌦️💨

Today's tour started in Cunnersdorf. From there we went to the Signal viewpoint. The stairs were a bit of a challenge for our dog. From there we went to the Katzfels and over the Neuteich to the Spitzstein.

A lovely little hike on a sunny late summer day.

The Katzsteinbaude deserves a recommendation, very friendly hosts, a good selection and tasty dishes and a fair price/performance ratio.

I really enjoyed the break at the Schneeberg viewpoint. These wonderful views of the Schneeberg, the Kaiserkrone and the Zschirnsteine, the peace and the warm sun - simply wonderful.

Take an autumn day, 3 stones in Saxon Switzerland, dear hikers and a forest full of mushrooms. The result is a great day of hiking that calls for repetition. Thank you for this beautiful day 🥰.
