Kleiner Zschirnstein, Mountain summit in Saxon Switzerland National Park, Germany

The Kleiner Zschirnstein rises to 472.7 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces on its northern side and a gradual slope to the south.

The name Zschirnstein derives from Slavic origins, indicating the presence of early Slavic settlements in this region of Saxon Switzerland during medieval times.

The sandstone formations of Kleiner Zschirnstein represent traditional climbing grounds where regional mountaineering techniques have developed over generations.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with the main access path starting from the village of Kleingießhübel through dense forest terrain.
