        To the right of the Kreuzfelsen there is a relatively easy-to-reach viewing point with a great view of the Altmühltal.

              The cross is at the top in an inaccessible place. There is no way up.

                Behind the rock the hiking trail runs into the "valley". Towards the rock, the path is a little steeper downhill. If it is damp, there is a risk of slipping.

                  Nice view here, even if there is no official way to get here. Good surefootedness required.
