Hike to "Kaiserkrone" and "Zirkelstein"

Leisurely round up the smallest table mountain in Saxon Switzerland. Caspar David Friedrich was already on the move here. His "Wanderer over the Sea of Fog" is probably the best-known painting of German Romanticism. It shows a well-to-do hiker with a frock coat and walking stick standing on a rock in contemplation of a landscape of partly bizarrely shaped mountain peaks rising out of a wafting morning mist. The landscape depicted in the painting is Saxon Switzerland. For Friedrich, who spent most of his life in Dresden, the nearby rocky world was a place of longing, inspiration and refuge in a world that was coming apart at the seams.
