Alpine Trail Jonsdorf Rock City

Highlight • Trail

There are many stone figures here that resemble animals or things... e.g. a teapot. You can make great discoveries. The rock with sandstone and lava components is already special.

The Nonnenfelsen are a unique rock formation above the spa town of Jonsdorf. Various paths lead up and up next to the bizarre sandstone pinnacles you can expect an incomparable view of the surrounding mountains.

March 23, 2025,Und wieder mal Lieblingrunde mit bissl Kraxelei😊.

Today again my favorite route in Jonsdorf with a bit of scrambling😊.

May 25, 2022,Wandern durch Löwen, Dackel, Nashörner und eine Teekanne etc.

On this hike you should mark the places that are not a highlight, but there are hardly any of them. The hike is short in length, but very strenuous. Only suitable for people with healthy joints and for children from 10 to 12 years.
Üwchen D. from Bautzen an der Spree wishes you lots of hiking fun.

October 15, 2025,Durch die Jonsdorfer Felsenstadt

Today we set out to visit the Jonsdorf Rock City in the Zittau Mountains.
The Zittau Mountains may be small, but they are full of surprises. The Jonsdorf Rock City captivated us with its impressive sandstone formations, old quarries, and colorful nature. The idyllic spa town offers a charming atmosphere, and the well-marked hiking trails made the area a paradise …

September 28, 2023,Die Teekanne – Große und kleine Orgel, Nonnenfelsen in Jonsdorf

After the first few meters we passed a great farm garden, then part of the fairy tale path followed and then into the rock world with rock images such as the teapot, the dachshund, lion, large and small organ and much more. We couldn't forget the nun's rock either.
Overall a great round.
The first pictures have to be put …

Start Jonsdorf car park Lindengarten. Then small rock alley, gypsy room, nuns' rock, gondola pond, teapot, dachshund, St. Bernard, rhinoceros, organ pipes, black hole, liquor store and Carola rock😊 . If you don't believe it, just "hike it"😉🙋.

June 27, 2025,ZITTAUER GEBIRGE - Abschlusstour Jonsdorfer Felsenstadt 🪨

Since we had already ticked off the absolute highlights of the area in the first few days, we decided at the end – and before heading home again in the evening – to do just a compact round in Jonsdorf.

May 21, 2022,Bei den Mühlsteinbrüchen

And again a small tour in Jonsdorf was accomplished. There it went up to the Carolafelsen, past the millstone quarries to the Nonnenfelsen.

September 18, 2023,Die Felsenstadt🪨🏙

And another rustic ⛰️mountain tour over Stock🪵 and 🪨Felsenstein! A lot here is reminiscent of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. In addition, there was previously very intensive mining⚒️ of sandstone for millstones. This is evidenced by deep quarries with the characteristic access crevices - a unique natural/cultural landscape! There are also regular places to stop for refreshments! Not to forget: wonderful …
