    The Geißenklösterle is a rock on a steep slope. Shepherds who came with their goats gave it its name. Today there is only a small ledge, the ceiling of the former cave has turned to rubble and slid down the slope. The first people who found shelter here had no animals with them. Wolf babies are said to have been the first creatures to be domesticated. But thousands of years before humans began to keep animals and cultivate land, someone had a completely different idea at this point: He scraped holes in a hollow swan bone and blew a high-pitched, bright sound on them - it is one of the first instruments ever were found.

      On the way to the Kissing Sau you pass the Geißenklösterle, which is on the right-hand side. It is also used by climbers.
