    According to legend, the goose beak is a goose lady turned to stone. A witch transformed her when she cried for her secret love, a monk from the monastery. The witch had previously turned the monk into a stone when he waved at her.

    The name is justified with a lot of imagination 🤭.
    The rock is quite unique, and the paths there and back are a highlight

    Hiking

    The Gänseschnabel is a bizarre, weathered porphyry cliff high above the Beretal, near Ilfeld. The reddish-brown Ilfeld porphyry is a rock of very different strengths. The material is sometimes very brittle and weathers quickly. In the immediate vicinity, the same rock is very resistant and sometimes forms bizarre cliffs.
