The Isselmannsteine are, so to speak, the beautiful link between the Dimberg and the Rötzenberg. You always walk along a beautiful path below the rock.
The Isselmannsteine were once used as a sandstone quarry, which is easy to see.
At the end of the Isselmansteine you should turn left and don't miss the great 4-castle view as a stopover and rest area with covered seating.

In a niche in the rock, Mary and Joseph stand as figures. Well protected from wind and weather.

These so-called Isselman stones can be found everywhere on the circular route. But these are well explained on the information boards.
Very interesting and, above all, very impressive.

The first rock of the Isselmannsteine after the Dimberg - the walkable rock plateau - offers a beautiful view of Lug and the surrounding area.

The most important rock formations of the Rötzenberg are the Isselmannsteine on the north side and the imposing Rötzenfels south of the summit, which reaches a considerable height of up to 55 meters. From the rocky plateau, which can be reached via a hiking trail (Dimbach Buntsandstein-Höhenweg), there is an excellent view to the south over the entire Wasgau region, with the Lindelbrunn ruins in the foreground, as well as to the northeast to the Rehberg, the Ebersberg, the Asselstein, and the Reichsburg Trifels.
