The Summloch on the Petersberg is a geological formation and also a tourist attraction near Marktbergel. It is a natural cave or rock crevice, the exact origin of which is still not fully understood. The Summloch is known for its acoustic phenomenon: when you hum or speak into it, the cave creates a special echo effect that visitors enjoy experiencing. It is a popular place for excursions and hikes, both because of its geological peculiarity and because of the beautiful landscape that surrounds it.

Hiking

A small but fine hike through an old fruit growing area. Nice view of the Windsheim bay. On the way back is the Summstein, a place to pause.
