Stoney in Saxony

Dragging my aching feet through a dark trail at 5pm leads me to a lookout over the edge .....
.....welcome to Saxon Switzerand - A national park famous for its funny shaped rocks towering over the Ebe river.
...some human figures for scaling.

...some of these small stones appeared to be placed there at the flat top mountains by some ancient humans....maybe they were.

Some more sexy folds and clefts.....


....all these just a short hike from the car park...and no crowds, at this side of the mountain anyway. Most of the folks were at the other side traversing the Bastei, a stone bridge linking a few of the flat topped mountains.
Its pretty cold today....19 degC at the car thermometer....I hardly broke sweat from the nice quiet walk. Not a bad way to spend the Sunday alone, and almost free, except for the 3 Euro parking fee.
