    A beautiful granite wool sack formation. If you know the name, you can recognize the animal immediately.

      There are several rock formations around the Waldstein, which have taken on special shapes due to weathering and erosion. This stone has the name "The whale from the forest stone" and looks confusingly similar to Moby Dick.

        Has something of Moby Dick in the snow .... Captain Ahab would be pleased
