From the rock of the Forstmeister jump you have a wonderful view over the Steinachtal towards Stadtsteinach. An information board above the Forstmeister jump explains historical facts about geology and mining in the Steinachtal.

A forester is said to have actually jumped from the rock with a horse. It did not survive, if you want to believe what people are saying. Apparently it was deliberate, guilty. But people tell a lot.

From the vantage point you have a beautiful view over the Steinachtal. The Nordeck castle ruins are not far and the Steinachklamm gorge as well
