2 reviews of Königstein Fortress

Impressive Fortress

It has impressive strength for its size and it is located on the top of a mountain in Saxon Switzerland, near Königstein, with stunning views over the River Elbe and the rest of the valley. The enclosure is very large so I recommend staying at least a couple of hours in order to visit the buildings inside and especially to travel along all the wall.

A l'entrée de la Suisse Saxonne se dresse la forteresse de Königstein. Pour arriver en haut de la forteresse et pouvoir admirer la vue qui s'étale devant nos yeux, on a le choix entre entreprendre la montée à pied ou grâce à l'ascenceur en verre qui permet d'observer progressivement les montagnes (le fait de prendre l'ascenceur n'augmente pas le coût de la visite, c'est donc plutôt intéressant). En haut, le plus intéressant est de faire le tour des murailles et d'avoir ainsi une vue à 360°. Les quelques salles qui sont ouvertes permettent de voir l'histoire du château, des objets d'époque (canons, armures). Un très joli lieu d'où on peut à la fois voir la Suisse Saxonne et l'Elbe.
At the entrance of the Saxon Switzerland stands the fortress of Königstein. To reach the top of the fortress and to admire the view spread out before our eyes, we have the choice between undertaking the ascent on foot or by the glass elevator that allows gradually see the mountains (the fact take the elevator does not increase the cost of the tour, so it's quite interesting). Above, the most interesting is to go around the walls, and thus have a 360 ° view. The few rooms that are open to allow you to see the castle's history, period objects (guns, armor). A very nice place where we can both see the Saxon Switzerland and the Elbe.
