Kesselfinkenloch Rock Arch

Great circular walk on paved paths and forest trails. Along the eaves there is a beautiful view of the Lenniger valley and fantastic rock formations.
Sure-footedness and sturdy shoes are recommended, as the eaves trail with its roots and stones sometimes passes close to the abyss.

very impressive this kettle finch hole, and a nice hike, definitely wear sturdy shoes

The Kesselfinkenloch is a cave ruin on the Albtrauf near the Hochwang district of Lenning.
The Kesselfinkenloch is a collapsed sinkhole located directly on the steep drop of the Swabian Alb. The rock hole is about 10 m wide, 15 m long and 10 m deep in the mass limestone (coral deposits) caused by the collapse of a cave. Only the cave entrance has been preserved as a mighty stone arch ("arch").
During the Thirty Years War, the cave is said to have provided refuge to a tinker named Fink, hence the name Kesselfinkenloch.
The Kesselfinkenloch is designated as a large natural monument under the name Kesselfinkenloch with rock section and Frühmeßfels and also as a protected geotope under the name Doline Kesselfinkenloch W von Lenningen.
