    There is a legend about the knight "Veit von Veitenstein" regarding the Veitenstein:
    His daughter was kidnapped by a young man of inferior social standing. The knight killed the man, and the daughter is said to have died of a "broken heart." The knight is said to have then fallen from the Veitenstein in a fit of rage. The information board on site provides further details.

    Hiking

    Sit on the rock and enjoy the view - wonderful place.
    You can also enjoy your brought lunch at the tables set up in peace.
    In the rain there is a shelter.
    ... and underneath a cave, which, however, is not freely accessible.
    Nice place 👣
