Natural Feature in Saxony
The Greifensteine are 7 tall rock pillars south of Zwickau. Many myths are told about these rocks in the local area. Today a touristic natural theatre lies in front of the rocks, so it could be that the site is overcrowded in summertime. A cave (Stülpner-Höhle) lies nearby.
