Tips

Gabi
The Gegensteine are the easternmost spur of the Teufelsmauer, this extraordinary geological sandstone formation that is a relic of the Cretaceous period.
Even from a distance, these monumental sandstone cliffs have a mystical effect, as if thrown into the flat landscape by the devil's hand.
