The highest point of the Schrammsteine ​​is the Hohe Torstein at 425  m above sea level. NHN . The Vordere Torstein ( 358.4  m above sea level ) forms the beginning of the rock chain in the southwest, which then continues, broken through by three powerful vertical rock openings, the so-called Schrammtoren . Other outstanding climbing peaks are (from south to north) Meurerturm ( 355.4  m above sea level ), Schrammtorwächter 357.8  m above sea level. NHN , southern Osterturm 366.5  m above sea level NHN , Northern Easter Tower 370.8  m above sea level NHN , three-finger tower 374.3  m above sea level NHN , Mittlerer Torstein 423.6  m above sea level NHN , as well as the rock needle Aunt 403.1  m above sea level on the ridge to the east . NHN . In addition, the standing alone Falkenstein belongs to a height of 381.2  m above sea level. NHN to the Schrammsteine. At the touristic accessible Schrammstein view , 417.2  m above sea level. NHN end the "Vorderen Schrammsteine". The “Hinteren Schrammsteine” follow in the direction of Schmilka .

Accesses

Coming from Ostrau, access is possible via the Lattengrund (blue line) or the Schustergrund (green dot). From the Schrammsteintor, the Wildschützensteig (blue line), which can only be walked in one direction at the top (the Jägersteig is to be used on the descent), leads to the ridge.

Coming from the Kirnitzschtal valley you can also get to the Schrammsteinen from the Nasser Grund car park via the gorge of the same name. Via the ridge path (later also Schrammsteinweg) you get to the Affensteinen and the Großer Winterberg , where you have to pass the back climb, a nearly 500 meter long path over iron stairs and craggy rocks.

At the rear end of the Schrammstein chain there is another ascent or descent. This is significantly less steep compared to the previous ascent and has no metal ladders. Over the "black hole" it goes down to the Zeughausweg and further into the Kirnitzschtal. You also pass one of the many vistas in Saxon Switzerland, the Lehnhorn, which is also ideal for climbing.

In the direction of Schmilka there is another possibility of ascent or descent. You can descend via simple stair elements past the Breite-Kluft-Tower (a climbing rock) through the wide cleft to the Elbe Valley. The path is marked with the green line in the upper section.

The Schrammsteine ​​are a popular tourist destination; especially the views and the ridge path are very popular. Both hikers and mountaineers will find a complex rock massif here, which is characterized by a variety of hiking trails and climbing rocks of different difficulty .

Robin steps

The Rotkehlchenstiege , on the southeast edge of the Schrammsteine, begins at the northern end of the Falkoniergrund near Schmilka and leads to the Schrammsteinweg. The staircase overcomes a height difference of around 150 meters with 286 steps. It leads over wooden stairs and some stony passages, especially in the upper section. In 2012 the chicken ladders were replaced by plastic steps.

history

In the Middle Ages, the Schramensteyn castle guard was located on the Vorderen Torstein . It served the Wildenstein rule as an observation point on the Elbe valley. Together with the rulership, it passed to the Electorate of Saxony in 1451 , and the castle keeper was described as expired in the castle register of 1456. In 1993, mountaineers discovered the remains of the castle guard on the Vorderen Torstein in the form of a hearth, remains of charcoal, an arrowhead and ceramic remains, which was previously only known from documents .
