Hiking

Below the forest path in the direction of Buchstein, in the "Kesselstein" area, there are several rock towers in Rhaetolias, which are among the most outstanding in the region in terms of aesthetic beauty and geological features (like the Buchstein rocks themselves). The weathering forms are particularly impressive on this group of sandstone rocks.
