Spitzhaustreppe, Baroque staircase in Radebeul, Germany
The Spitzhaustreppe consists of 397 steps and 57 landings, spanning 220 meters in length and ascending 76 meters in height through the vineyard landscape.
Originally designed by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann between 1710 and 1750, the staircase connected the Hoflößnitz wine estate to a planned pleasure palace for Augustus the Strong.
The staircase features a shell pavilion at its summit, constructed in 1751, with two resting benches and a decorative niche in the rear wall.
The stairs undergo regular maintenance using Postaer sandstone and Meißner granite to preserve their structural integrity and safety for visitors throughout the year.
The annual Spitzhaustreppenlauf marathon challenges participants to climb these stairs 100 times within 24 hours, equivalent to a double marathon distance.
