Hochstein (Lawalde)
__FORCETOC__ The Hochstein ( Sorbian: 'Rubježny hród') is a mountain in Saxony, eastern Germany. At an elevation of 533.1 m (1,749 ft), it is the easternmost peak of the Czorneboh chain in the Upper Lusatian Highlands. At the summit cliffs, which are under protection as natural monuments, the mica granodiorite of which the mountain consists can be observed breaking through the surface. Ramparts A prehistoric rampart encloses the up to 10 m high rocks. In 1841, historian Karl Benjamin Preusker suspected a pagan sacrificial place at the site. Archaeological investigations around 1900 revealed a Slavic or other medieval use. The question after the function of the site, however, could not be answered. Around 1350 the rocks are said to have served as a hiding place to a group of bandits, which is why the site was also called a robber castle on old maps and is still called so in Sorbian today.
