Mountain inn "Papststein"

Garlic spaghetti on the Papststein: this is one of the culinary classics in Saxon Switzerland! It has been on the menu of the mountain restaurant for years - and is at the top of visitors' favourites in both summer and winter. The fact that the simple dish tastes so good up here is certainly due to the fresh mountain air, the rustic hut ambience and the breathtaking view!
 
For over a hundred years, the rustic wooden hut on the Papststein table mountain has been a cosy place to stop for a bite to eat. It is one of the most traditional mountain huts in Saxon Switzerland! With its dark, lovingly crafted façade, the green window and door frames and the hand-lettered blackboards with the daily specials, it looks as if it has fallen out of time.
 
At first glance, the interior also looks more 19th century than 21st century. The wooden tables stand on the wrought-iron feet of antique sewing machines, the lampshades are old porcelain plates and on cold days a wood fire crackles and crackles cosily in the large, green tiled stove.
 
The ascent to the Papststein is either short or long, depending on the route, and therefore fits into any winter hiking day. The pinnacle of hut romance is the "Urige Baudenabend" with homemade cheese fondue and regional wines. This experience is only available here in winter!
