The path to Saunštejn is a true journey of discovery through the magical landscape of Bohemian Switzerland. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy the fantastic view via narrow forest paths, narrow rock crevices, steps and lattice stairs.
A nice walk around the lattice and railings makes it safer on the rock.

From a small, free parking lot via the small Prebischtor to theSchauenstein and back again.
A good path leads along the top to the small Prebischtor. Then a beautiful hiking trail leads to theSchauenstein. There are still a lot of trees lying across the lower way back.
