This extraordinary rock is a geological peculiarity. A rocky outcrop several meters wide in steps with a round opening on the side. The midnight sun can also be seen through it, if you are there at the right time of year.

The Felsentor looks much smaller on photos than it actually is. The eroded stratified rock also makes the view interesting from close up.

You can also start within the village, in front of the old school building. The way is not far, but there is a bit of uphill and downhill. The Felsentor is larger than I would have expected from the photos.👍
