Not far from the botanical garden is the rock plateau with a beautiful panoramic view. Some stairs, some carved into the rock, lead down to a small, decorated cave.
On several boards additional information about this highlight is offered on site.

The name of this rocky escarpment below the Col de Saverne road comes from the legend of a Lorraine prince. According to this, he escaped his pursuers by jumping from this rock with his horse. The imprint of his armor is still visible near the old mountain road.
