      According to legend, the giants who lived here had set up their cats' troughs here.
      The Katzentrögel used to be the most popular excursion destination in the stone forest as a viewing platform. This changed with the construction of the Upper Palatinate Tower.
      Today stairs and directions have been dismantled for environmental reasons.

        This stone formation is a little off in the middle of the forest. Not as impressive as the ruins and the observation tower, but still worth seeing.
