Tips
All rocks of the Walberlas (twin, vulture wall, Bimarckturm, Wiesenthauer needle, Räbelstein, Rodenstein, fingers, thumb and mushroom) come from the Jura Sea.

Beautiful rock formation whose silhouette becomes clear only at second glance, which is why it bears her name.

Who loves the peace should avoid the Walberla on the first weekend in May. Who wants to link cultivated beer culture with a great panorama but comes to the Walberlafest.
