Gohrisch (hill)

The Gohrisch (wrongly also called the Gohrischstein, 440 m) is a table hill in the German region of Saxon Switzerland, left of the River Elbe in Saxony.

The Gohrisch is located about four kilometres southeast of Königstein and some four kilometres south of Bad Schandau in the centre of a plateau (Ebenheit) that is dominated by similar rocky hills.

Touristically this micro-region in Saxon Switzerland is often called the "Region of Rocks" (Gebiet der Steine).

On the east side is the Speckstein Gallery (Specksteinstollen) which bears witness to former prospecting in this area.

In the immediate vicinity there is a small, overgrown quarry where basalt used to be extracted for used as road ballast.
