Auf schmalen Wegen zum Kohlbornstein – hike
From Krippen station you first climb up to the Kellerfelsen, a viewpoint high above the Elbe valley. The path then continues uphill through the quiet Liethengrund to the Kohlbornstein, whose summit view reaches over Reinhardtsdorf and the table mountains. You return via the Lasenweg below the Lasensteine and along sections of the Malerweg and the Caspar-David-Friedrich-Weg. About sixty per cent of the route is on paths and narrow hiking trails, the rest on gravel and asphalt. Along the way you pass places that Caspar David Friedrich drew in 1813, among them the setting of his picture of the two men contemplating the moon.
Tip: At Krippen station there are only a few free parking spaces, and in the village a small car park with twelve spaces; larger car parks are in Bad Schandau. Sturdy footwear is recommended; dogs are allowed and must be kept on a lead in the national park area.
