Diese tolle Aussicht mit Rastbank liegt etwas versteckt und unscheinbar links von der offiziellen Brandaussicht/Brandbaude. Man hat das gleiche fantastische Panorama von den Schrammsteinen auf der linken Seite über die vielen Tafelberge der sächsischen Schweiz bis zur Bastei auf der rechten Seite und ist hier oftmals ungestört, da sich die meisten Touristen direkt an der Baude versammeln und diese Aussicht auch nicht ausgeschildert ist.
