    Hiking

    12 m high diabase rock, part of a submarine magma effusion that was thundered out as a hard rock.

    Reason for protection: importance for science and teaching, geological importance.

    Hiking

    This rock is impressive, even if you recognize it quite late in the green forest.

    Hiking

    We locals also call the rock the "black stone".
    The reason for its name is probably the dark color of the natural stone diabase.
    It could also be that the rock represents a kind of boundary stone between the districts of Tringenstein and Oberndorf.
