FORTE CULTURA Station: Königstein Fortress (DE)
One of the most beautiful and powerful mountain fortresses in Europe
A single visit and view of the Elbe valley convinced Napoleon of the defence capabilities of this complex
Nestled in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the town of Königstein lies on the banks of the River Elbe. The Königstein fortress of the same name, one of the largest and most beautiful mountain fortresses in Europe, is enthroned on the table mountain high above it. The fantastic view alone, which can be enjoyed from almost every point along the 1700 metre-long rampart walk, is worth the climb.
In addition to the panorama, the exciting architecture and history, the extremely varied and diverse adventure programme for young and old sets new standards in European fortress tourism.
