Location and area
editThe Adlerstein lies in the Central Ore Mountains not far from the B 101 federal road that runs from Heinzebank to Pockau where there is a junction with the Lengefeld Road not far away. Immediately at the foot of the mountain is the well-known Lengefeld Lime Works (Kalkwerk Lengefeld). The Adlerstein and the nearby peak of the Lauterbacher Knochen complement one another as good viewing points, albeit partly obscured by trees in places.
Views
editThe other places that may be seen from the Adlerstein include the Sayda and Brand Heights, Waldkirchen, Marienberg, Dittersdorfer Höhe and Pöhlberg in Germany, and the Jelení hora (Haßberg), Hora Svaté Kateřiny (Katharinaberg) and the Čihadlo (Lauschhübei) in the Czech Republic.
