Königshain Hills


The Königshain Hills lie in Eastern Upper Lusatia west of the town of Görlitz in the county of the same name. They are located north and south of the village of Königshain after which they are named, and are an extensive, mainly wooded granite region. Their highest points are the Kämpferberge and the well-known Hochstein, 406m above sea level. The entire hill range has been a protected area since 1974. In a part of the former Firsten Quarry there is a bird reserve.
