Die Felsenburg besticht mit zahlreichen Spuren ihrer mittelalterlichen Nutzung. Felszeichnungen, Balkenfalze und eine alte Zisterne sind hier zu sehen.

Schon am Fuß der Felsenburg entdecken wir die ersten Balkenfalze, Spuren mittelalterlicher Treppen und Gebäude. Der Aufstieg zur einstigen Oberburg zeigt Überbleibsel der einstigen Absperrung des Zugangs zur Burg. Oben finden sich einige Felszeichnungen - ein Gesicht mit großen Ohren etwa, oder ein Ritter im Waffenrock. Am einstigen Fundament des Bergfrieds befindet sich die Zisterne. Heute genießt man vom Arnstein eine schöne, weitreichende Aussicht in die hintere Sächsische Schweiz und bis nach Böhmen.
