The Christenstein is just outside of Heilgersdorf. Immediately at the end of the village it goes uphill until you reach the Christenstein after approx. 500 m. The Christenstein is a massive boulder from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of Heilgersdorf and the surrounding area. The location also offers itself for an extensive rest. There is a lot going on here in summer and especially on weekends.

Beautiful vantage point with great charisma. Was probably already used in the early history as a cult place.
Was also inhabited at times. According to a legend, a nobleman and horse fell to their deaths, pursued by peasants.
