Hiking

The Madonnas Rock is on the left side of the road an imposing rock. Inscribed in the stone is a bronze plaque depicting the Mother of God and her child. The design of the rock goes back to an initiative of the former forestry officer Heinz Becker (1986). The table was produced and donated by the sewing machine manufacturer Pfaff.

"A bronze plaque with a depiction of the Mother of God and child is embedded in the stone. The reason for attaching the bronze plaque in 1986 was the observation of the forestry official Heinz Becker that flowers and burning candles were often placed on this mighty stone."

The Madonna rock is downhill on the left side. It is a large rock with a metal plate depicting a Madonna attached to it. Again and again people put on candles.
