Well, who stacked that there? Really interesting rock formation, and the path there is also very beautiful.

The rock collection popularly called "Hockstein" is one of many attractions of Markersdorf. During a hike through the forest, which begins at the northeastern outskirts of the village, after several ups and downs at the peak of the trail you reach the Hocksteine. The position of the highest boulder looks so threatening that it is generally feared that he might fall at any moment. Consequently, the hiker hastens to cross this place. The "uplifted" location of this boulder gave the collection its name. Around the emergence of the Hocksteines various legends entwine. Thereafter, the Taurasteinmann should have created this rock massif, when he built a new residence.

I can highly recommend this tour "Round of Markersdorf-Taura 6.5 km"! But please note one thing: wait for at least 1 week of dry weather, otherwise you will "sink" in the mud in places and the risk of slipping on some slopes is quite high.
