My Commentary: After taking a train and bus Michael, Santosh and I arrived at Königstein. The destination was the festung Königstein and it is on the top of a hill, crossing the nature reserve Sächsische Schweiz. We decided to go on foot and don't take a bus. Well, the walk costed expensive, the weather was very hot and we got there on the top sweating a lot, but that was a good exercise and to get back was easier.

On 29 May 1955 the Ministry of Culture of the DDR declared fortress Königstein to be a museum. During the opening ceremonies this key was presented (replica of the School of Heckmann-Werke Heidenau)
This underground area was extremely cold, we stayed there for a while to get cool and it worked very fast, amazing medieval technology
We did our snack time at this place
