Out & back
The Königshain Mountains are definitely worth a trip. Rock formations such as the Firstenstein, the Hochstein and the Totenstein protrude from the earth and are surrounded by mixed forest. Originally there were around 100 large rock towers there, but many were dismantled to be used as the well-known granite from Königshain in buildings such as the Reichstag and the beacon on Cape Arkona. The quarries created by the granite mining have filled with water over time, creating unique landscape elements such as the Firstensteinbruch, the Hamannbruch and the Thadenbruch.
