Within the structure of Natural regions of Saxony, the Rotstein Ridge forms its own microgeochore within the mesoheochore "Reichenbacher Lösshügelland" (11012) and the macrogeochore Eastern Upper Lusatia (11).[1]
There are remains of a late Slavic-early German fortification built as a double wall on the southeastern crest of the Rotstein, hence its Upper Sorbian name.
