The jumping stones owe their name to the fact that in the past - when the mountains were not yet so densely forested - they could be seen jumping out of the valley from the cliffs on the slope.

The description of the jumping stones is helpful in understanding the name "jumping stones". Some stones can be reached from the ridge path, but there is another formation and information about the stones further down.

A great rock information. A sign explains where the name comes from, which then explains a lot.
