The Bloßstock is a striking rock and climbing peak in the Affensteine in Saxon Switzerland. It forms the northernmost elevation of the Affensteine and is separated by a deep notch from the Kreuzturm to the south and the adjoining rocky reef of the Langer Horn. The north face, which is over 90 m high, drops almost vertically, making the rock a landmark in the rear Saxon Switzerland that can be seen from afar and is described as one of the most imposing rock towers in the area.
As early as 1592, Matthias Oeder's map of the First Electoral Saxon Survey mentions the rock on the bare stick. This is also where the meaning of the name derives: bare stick for free rock. In the 19th century, it was sometimes etymologically incorrectly referred to as Blauer Stock or Blaustock.
