Reachable by a 30–60 min hike from Bad Schandau/Ostrau; steep steps and narrow paths require good shoes. No entry fee; small parking in Bad Schandau or Ostrau. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; autumn and post-rain mornings add mist and mood. Weekdays/early morning reduce h3
