Name

The name is not related to the flower lily (German: Lilie) but is probably derived from St. Gilgen or St. Ilgen (earlier names of the mountain were „Ylgenstein“ und „Illgenstein“). These names refer to Saint Giles.

Location

The Lilienstein is located 15 km east of Pirna and 5 km west of Bad Schandau. It overlooks the river Elbe, which forms a 180° loop around the mountain. The Königstein Fortress is located opposite on the left bank of the river.
