Description by the author

Königstein is an East German village located just 16 kilometers from the Czech border and 30 kilometers southeast of Dresden. The village is especially known for the large Fort Königstein that lies on the hills next to the city and that has been towering over the valley for several centuries. During the walk the fort will of course be visited alongside the Malerwinkel and the Stadtkirche, among other things, so that a trip to Königstein was certainly worthwhile.
