    Below is a plaque for a deceased child, who followed his mother and starved there.

    Hiking

    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.
