Hohe Liebe

Hohe Liebe is a 401-meter summit in Saxon Switzerland with multiple hiking trails crossing its slopes. The area features distinctive sandstone rock formations that shape the surrounding landscape and climbing routes.

A memorial was built in 1920 by the Saxon Mountaineering Association to remember over 400 climbers who died in World War I. The structure stands at the summit as a lasting tribute to those lost during this conflict.

The name comes from a local love story passed down through generations in the region. Climbers gather here regularly to share experiences and enjoy the view together.

You can start from the small parking area near Pension Zum Falkenstein or use the larger Ostrauer Wanderparkplatz for easier access. The trails are well marked, though sturdy hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended as the terrain becomes steep and rocky in places.

The hiking route includes iron ladders and steps along the Jägersteig path through varied terrain with elevation changes around 356 meters. Walking this trail requires good balance and a head for heights, as some sections are narrow and exposed to the surrounding landscape.
