The Fortress Cycle Path leads from the Elbe Cycle Path up a short but challenging ramp to Königstein Fortress, one of the largest mountain fortresses in Europe. While your legs work on the climb, the anticipation of the mighty walls of the fortress increases with every metre of altitude. Once at the top, athletic performance and a gigantic view over the Elbe Sandstone Mountains merge into an unforgettable experience.
