Interesting rock formation (granite). A small path leads to the top of the cavernous rocks (wooden staircase / ladder) - worthwhile. In the summer months: beware of ticks ...

The rock groups of the Girgel Cave (some also say Girgel Cave) in the Tröstauer Forest are classified as a landscape protection area of the Fichtelgebirge Nature Park and as a geotope of granite blocks with cotton grass weathering. A marking with white arrows leads from the back exit through a tangle of rocks and rock groups, which reminds a little of the Luisenburg labyrinth, but of course cannot keep up in size.

That makes it fun to work through with backpack :) Is already very impressive and beautiful there, you should definitely look. Not to be underestimated is the possibility of protection in case of a weather change.
