Jonsdorfer Felsenstadt, Natural reserve in Jonsdorf, Germany.

The Jonsdorfer Felsenstadt extends across 65.4 hectares of land, featuring sandstone formations from the Turon period with basalt and phonolite geological structures.

The area was designated as a protected zone on July 1, 2014, integrating it into the broader Zittau Mountains Nature Park conservation framework.

The Felsenstadt serves as a critical nesting territory for the Eurasian Eagle Owl and Peregrine Falcon, leading to specific protection measures during breeding periods.

Visitors can explore an 8.1-kilometer circular trail starting from the main parking lot near Gondelfahrt, passing through key locations like Zigeunerstuben and Nonnenfelsen.

The site contains the Schwarzes Loch quarry, where a sundial remains visible on the massive stone wall, marking the historical industrial activities in the region.
