The Dost Nature Reserve is a sea of boulders. Due to its idyllic location and the mighty boulders along the Girnitz stream and on the flat valley slopes, it is a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers.

Round granite blocks lie impressively on top of and next to each other in the Doost. The water of the Girnitzbach rushes beneath them. Popular belief interprets them as the work of giants, and the devil is also brought into play in the legends. In fact, the Doost goes back to a long geological process that began millions of years ago.

The Doost nature reserve has become a worthwhile destination for - not just geological - excursions, the fauna and flora can also inspire here. The "Doost" was placed under protection very early on, on October 14, 1937 - making it the oldest nature reserve in the Upper Palatinate.
