<p>Winterwanderung auf einsamen Pfaden im Grenzwinkel rund um Hinterhermsdorf in der Hinteren Sächsischen Schweiz...nach über 6 Stunden, in denen wir keinem Menschen begegneten, führte uns unsere Tour als Abschluss zum Königsplatz, einen der wenigen Aussichtspunkte im waldreichen Grenzwinkel. <br />
<br />
Seinen Namen verdankt der Aussichtspunkt dem sächsischen König Friedrich August II. (1797–1854), der  dort gern verweilt haben soll. Die Erschließung der Aussicht erfolgte unter dem Hinterhermsdorfer Revierförster Carl Christian Eduard Voigt um 1836.<br />
<br />
Die Aussicht vom Königsplatz reicht vor allem in Richtung Lausitzer Gebirge (Lužické hory). Im Bild zu sehen sind die höchsten Berge des Gebirges: der Tannenberg (Jedlová, 774 Meter), die Finkenkoppe (Pěnkavčí vrch, 792 Meter) und die Lausche (Luž, 793 Meter).<br />
