    When you drive past below, you can't see the rock. It's quite impressive considering the entire basin was once a lake.

      The 8 m high Wäldlesfels is a reef preserved in its original form.
      Once, a wreath of numerous algal limestone rocks graced the Steinhirt. Many rocks fell victim to gravel mining in 1860 for railway construction.
      Not far away is the mountain hut "Kraterblick". Here you can relax with coffee and cake, or a good meal with a beautiful view of the Steinheimer basin.

        A few steps away is the tombs of Ludwig and Louise Schaffer. He prevented thank God the demolition of the algae limestone rock.
