The Luftenberg is a natural monument. This is a sandstone rock edge. from the upper Cretaceous period. The existing caves in the sandstone rock were created by extracting sand from the rooms. A hundred years ago, this room sand was used to clean the wooden floorboards in the living rooms. There is a huge sand pit on the north side of the Luftenberg. There is also a low-grass lawn with many rare plants on the edge of the Luftenberg.
