Nonnenfelsen, Sandstone summit in Görlitz, Germany.
The Nonnenfelsen formation rises to 537.1 meters, featuring distinct sandstone pinnacles that emerge from the landscape near the spa town of Jonsdorf.
The sandstone formations of Nonnenfelsen developed through natural erosion processes over thousands of years, shaping the current geological structure of the mountain.
The name Nonnenfelsen originates from the rock formations that resemble nun costumes, contributing to local folklore and stories passed through generations.
Multiple hiking paths of varying difficulties lead to the summit, with the Basaltgang am Nonnenfelsen loop from Kurort Jonsdorf offering an entry-level route.
The mountain contains several climbing routes along its sandstone walls and serves as a habitat for numerous rare plant and animal species in Saxony.
