Hiking
The Große Wendenstein protrudes about 2 meters above the plateau and was therefore particularly suitable as a border marker (Wende = border). It served as a border point between Baden and Württemberg. The street shows carved historical inscriptions as well as the two national coats of arms. "Vorst" and the year "1580" are still legible today.

The Great Wendenstein is an approximately seven times four by two meters large geological natural monument. Beautifully recognizable are the different layers of the middle Buntsandstein, which seem to lie on each other like plates.
