Signalstein and Klagemauer

The Western Wall, a traditional bouldering rock, is a great 7 meter high practice wall for climbers and well worth seeing, the Signalstein (582 m) is known as a striking lookout rock and offers a viewing platform on the rock. A steep staircase leads to the rock colossus so that there is no view (as of 05/2021), something should be cut out here.

Climb around a bit or watch others climbing. A nice highlight that only one thing does not deliver: a great view. Everything overgrown. So rather come in the foliage-free time.

In the Middle Ages, the castles Leienfels, Bärnfels, Obertrubach, Egloffstein and Thuisbrunn communicated and warned each other by means of beacons that were lit here. This type of warning system was used until the 19th century, including with flashing signals. The vegetation was probably a bit sparse there.
