The Semmelstein is a beautiful rock formation near Bullhead House. The name Semmelstein probably does not come from the shape of a typical bread roll, the name probably comes from the coat of arms of the Wittelsbach family, because the typical rhombuses are carved into this border rock. This peculiar coat of arms was called "Wecke" (Bread roll) by the locals, they went to the stone with the rolls, briefly to the Semmelstein.
