The rock named Grosse Hunskirche...

...viewed from the top of Papststein. What looks like snow is really sand - wind and weather are constantly "dissolving" the sandstone rocks, little by little. Many times, at the foot of the rocks in Saxonian Switzerland, it's like being on a beach! On closer look, one can see climbers on the Grosse Hunskirche - all these rocks are extremely popular for climbing!

Re: Very nice ...

Thanks a lot Hiltrud - this was a particularly beautiful evening we had during our very enjoyable four-day stay in Sächsische Schweiz!
Cheers,
Eric
