Schrammsteine

The Schrammsteine are a long, strung-out, very jagged group of rocks in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains located east of Bad Schandau in Saxon Switzerland in eastern Germany.

[1] To the west the frontmost Torstein forms the start of the chain of rocks in the southwest.

The rocks then run up to the Schrammstein viewing point, gashed by three, mighty, vertical rock openings, the Schrammtoren (Toren = gateways or openings in German, vorderer = before, hinterer = behind).

The other summits of the rock group are almost exclusively found on the terrace-like massif of the Schrammstein ridge.

The Schrammsteine are a much frequented tourist destination; the plateau-like viewing points and the ridge being especially popular.
