A fantastic view of the Hoher Urach and the Ermstal valley, with Hoher Neuffen visible on the horizon to the left of the Hoher Urach. Anyone looking for a nice place to rest and take a breather would be well advised to plan this spot (Rutschenfelsen) into their route so that they arrive here at break time.

Hiking

The Rutschenfelsen is the most striking rock in Bad Urach, offering fantastic views of Bad Urach and the Albtrauf ridge. Be careful: there's no railing to protect you from falling.
