From Lichtenegg you reach the Türkenfelsen after about 2.5 km at the end of a high plateau. A massive and about 10m high rock wall. For rock-climbing families, this rock is ideal, so the climbing routes have been redeveloped in recent years and provided with the appropriate levels of difficulty.

On Sundays and public holidays very well attended. If you want to really enjoy the atmosphere, you should choose one day during the week.
