DJI Drone 4K：The Kingstone (2018) | Königstein im Taunus, Germany | NatLi Travel Film 007
This weekend, I travelled to Frankfurt in Germany. Near this famous European city, there is a small town hidden among mountains and forest. Here is Königstein im Taunus. The town is part of the Frankfurt Rhein-Main urban area. Owing to its advantageous location for both scenery and transport on the edge of the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region, Königstein is a favourite residential town.
The name 'Königstein' means 'King stone'. So this drone video is named: The Kingstone. Hope you like it!

Königstein Fortress (German: Festung Königstein), the Saxon Bastille, is a hilltop fortress near Dresden, in Saxon Switzerland, Germany, above the town of Königstein on the left bank of the River Elbe. It is one of the largest hilltop fortifications in Europe and sits atop the table hill of the same name.
The 9.5 hectare rock plateau rises 240 metres above the Elbe and has over 50 buildings, some over 400 years old, that bear witness to the military and civilian life in the fortress. The rampart run of the fortress is 1,800 metres long with walls up to 42 metres high and steep sandstone faces. In the centre of the site is a 152.5 metre deep well, which is the deepest in Saxony and second deepest well in Europe.
The fortress, which for centuries was used as a state prison, is still intact and is now one of Saxony's foremost tourist attractions, with 700,000 visitors per year.( )

Das 9,5 Hektar große Felsplateau erhebt sich 240 Meter über die Elbe und zeugt mit über 50 teilweise 400 Jahre alten Bauten vom militärischen und zivilen Leben auf der Festung. Der Wallgang der Festung ist 1800 Meter lang und hat bis zu 42 Meter hohe Mauern und Sandstein-Steilwände. Im Zentrum der Anlage befindet sich der mit 152,5 Meter tiefste Brunnen Sachsens und zweittiefste Burgbrunnen Europas.( )

The history of Königstein castle
Königstein castle is one of the largest mountain fortresses in Europe and is located in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland above the village of Königstein. It is perched on a 9.5 hectare plateau, 240 metres above the Elbe river. People have lived here since the Bronze Age, 3100 years ago. The outer wall is 1,800 metres long and from the base it is up to 42 metres high using the sandstone cliffs as additional support. At the centre of the complex, there is a 152.5 meter well, the second deepest castle well in Europe.
The fortress exists thanks to its environment. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains were created due to the uplift of ocean floors in historic times which then due to weathering created the rock formations that we can see in the region today. It is the debris of a landscape which in millions of years time will no longer exist. Part of that debris are the plateaux and the Königstein plateau is one of them. An ideal defensive position located above an important trade route and close to a border that has existed since the castle was first created.
There are a number of ways of getting here. One can take the Dresden S Bahn, get off at Königstein and walk. Alternatively there is a car park below the castle, one can walk from there or take the shuttle bus. If one comes by coach, there is a large coach stop at the base of the castle, one can pick up a ticket there and enter the castle either by panoramic lift or follow the trail up as I shall show in this film.
What I shall do in this video is to tell you a little bit about the history of the castle at the same time as showing you what can be seen inside. I have made other films relating to this fortress and Saxon Switzerland as a whole which may also be of interest.
I came here as part of my tour of Saxon Switzerland. My interest was generated by seeing some of the paintings of the region done in the eighteenth and nineteenth century when this was a popular tourist destination for the wealthy. As far as the region is concerned, I think it has the best walking trails that I have seen, the scenery is spectacular yet accessible by bike. I travelled by motorhome but there are all sorts of other accommodation providers and public transport is excellent.

Königstein : one of the most powerful fortresses in Europe
This is Königstein Fortress, one of the largest hilltop fortifications in Europe and probably one of the most formidable castles in Europe. The castle is on a 9.5 metre plateau, some 240 metres above the Elbe. The outer wall is 1,800 metres long with walls up to 42 metres high with high sandstone cliffs. Located in the beautiful Saxon Switzerland area of Germany, this is a major tourist attraction and welcomes some 700,000 visitors per year.
To get there, you can use the Dresden S Bahn and walk from the station at Konigstein. This has the advantage of making one appreciate just how strong the fortress is. Alternatively, there is a car park at the base of the plateau with shuttle service up or coach parking just next to the castle.
To a large extent the fortress became a tourist attraction thanks to art – as indeed did the region of Saxon Switzerland. And this goes back to the latter part of the eighteenth century. Just before the Seven Years War, Elector Augustus III commissioned the Italian artist Bernardo Bellotto to paint a series of five large-scale views of the fortress at Königstein. The war started in 1756 and the pictures were not finished before the outbreak of hostilities. Bellotto did not know what to do with them and so sold them to buyers in the UK. Today, four of the Königstein paintings are held in public collections in Britain whilst a fifth can be seen in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
I think I also need to say that whereas I am not interested in art in general, I am also one of those people whose interest in Saxon Switzerland was inspired by the romantic artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The plateau is a natural defensive area. There is a record dating to 1233 mentioning a defensive position on the site which for centuries has been on a border route although the names of the countries have changed. It also guards an important trade route, it controls traffic on the Elbe.
In the centuries that followed, it expanded, it changed hands, it even changed use and became a monastery for a short period of time.
The oldest surviving structure today is the castle chapel built at the turn of the 13th century. In the years 1563 to 1569 the 152.5 metre deep well was bored into the rock within the castle - until that point the garrison of the Königstein had to obtain water from cisterns and by collecting rainwater. During the construction of the well some 8 cubic metres of water had to be removed from the shaft every day.
Between 1589 and 1597 Prince-Elector Christian I of Saxony and his successor had the castle developed into the strongest fortification in Saxony. High outer walls and internal buildings were erected which include the gatehouse, barracks and armoury. Construction continued until around 1756 as rulers sought to expand the castle. After this period, work was carried out internally but nothing to match the major changes that had occurred earlier.
One curious feature is the largest wine barrel in the world which took from from 1722 to 1725 to make. This was done at the behest of August the Strong.
As Königstein Fortress was regarded as unconquerable, the Saxon monarchs retreated to it during times of social upheaval. The state treasury was here and many works of art were also kept here. It was also used by them as a second residence due to the natural beauty and good hunting to be found in the vicinity. It was also used as a prison.
Although the fortress was never taken in battle, it was surrendered. During the Seven Years War in 1756, Prince-Elector Frederick Augustus II saw his army outmanoeuvred and forced to surrender from the castle on the nearby Lilienstein. In August 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars, the clash at Krietzschwitz took place in front of its gates, an engagement that proved an important precursor to the Battle of Leipzig, arguably the battle that defeated Napoleon.
Until 1922 the fortress was the best-known state prison in Saxony. During the Franco-Prussian War and the two world wars the fortress was also used as a prisoner of war camp. In World War I the castle was used as a prisoner of war camp (Oflag) for French and Russian officers. In World War II it again served as an Oflag, called Oflag IV-B, for British, French, Polish and other Allied officers. It was from here that General Henri Giraud escaped on 17 April 1942 – probably one of the most daring escapes of the war and something I will examine in another video.
After the Second World War the Red Army used the fortress as a military hospital. From 1949 to 1955 it was used for those that did not appreciate life in the DDR.
The castle became a museum on 29 May 1955. In the first 20 years after unification, the Saxon government spent some EUR46m on renovation.
