Schwedenturm

The Schwedenturm ("Sweden Tower") in East Germany is a 35-metre-high rock formation made of sandstone in the hills of Saxon Switzerland near the spa town of Rathen and the famous Bastei rocks.

From the car park for the Bastei, a path runs towards Schwedenlöcher.

The Schwedenturm is situated on the right just before the entrance to a narrow ravine.

The Schwedenturm was first climbed in 1905 by Rudolf Fehrmann and his brother Arymund.
