Attention, parents of little explorers! In the K\u00f6nigstein Fortress in Saxon Switzerland, there are plenty of exciting experiences that will captivate not only children. So, don’t hesitate to visit!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

K\u00f6nigstein Fortress<\/a> in Saxon Switzerland <\/strong>is undoubtedly one of the most impressive historical fortifications in Germany. The scenery alone, with the mighty cannon-armed structure perched 247 meters high on a table mountain above the Elbe River, is worth the visit. The fortress was once considered the safest place in Saxony. It housed important state prisoners as well as the Saxon state treasury. No one ever attempted to conquer K\u00f6nigstein; it would have been an impossible mission. Today, the fortress has become an open-air museum <\/strong>with more than 50 buildings, providing a vivid impression of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Hands-On Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition concept emphasizes interaction. Children can look forward to delving into the most exciting chapters of Saxon history. They are showcased in the exhibition “In lapide regis \u2013 On the King’s Stone.” 33 rooms narrate the changing roles of K\u00f6nigstein<\/strong>: from the original royal castle to the monastery, from the state prison and art depot to the location for film and television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
