Katzenstein, Mountain summit in Marienberg, Germany

The Katzenstein mountain reaches an elevation of 706 meters and features multiple marked trails through dense forests in the Erzgebirge mountain range.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Katzenstein area played a role in the silver mining operations that shaped the economic development of Saxony.

The mountain's name translates to Cat Stone in German, reflecting the regional practice of naming geographical features after animals and natural elements.

Visitors can access the mountain through designated parking facilities near Pobershau, with several established hiking routes leading to the summit.

The summit's geological formations display evidence of ancient volcanic activity that occurred millions of years ago in the Erzgebirge region.
