Since it is not worth driving very far in bad weather, we decided to take a walk through Saxon Switzerland.
Only a week after going out for the first sun rising, and before the clock change, I wanted to look at the sunrise again. On the Lilienstein above the Elbe very nice, but unfortunately also many others know that.
“You are crazy!”When getting up early at four, hiking through the dark forest in the rain and climbing rocks to watch a sunrise is crazy, I like it to be, because I was also rewarded for it!
The Heilige Stiege is, with 903 steps on 190m altitude difference, the climbing system of Saxon Switzerland with the most stages (Wikipedia). Exhausting, but just as beautiful and worthwhile is the view. If you also want to experience something different: The hiking trail that leads past Satanskopf to the south passes right through a rock. But with a bit of climbing and crawling not too difficult to master.
