Nonne, Rock formation in Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge, Germany.
The Nonne stands at 240 meters above sea level, forming part of the sandstone formations within the Saxon Switzerland region near Dresden.
The sandstone structure emerged through geological processes during the Cretaceous period, when this area was covered by a shallow sea.
Local climbers frequent the Nonne formation as part of the Saxon Switzerland climbing tradition, following specific regional climbing regulations.
Visitors can reach the Nonne formation through marked hiking trails from the nearby town of Rathen, with designated parking areas available.
The vertical rock structure contains natural caves and crevices that provide nesting spots for several native bird species.
