Tips
The name of the Ochsenstall rock, which means ox stable, is a riddle because none of the cavities are large enough to house oxen. According to oral tradition, this place would have served as a place of rest and shelter for herdsmen who led the animals to pastures or for pig breeders, while the animals feasted on acorns.

Very beautiful rock formation, which, as in my case, can sometimes serve as a shelter with seating in the rain.

Was actually used as an oxen stall in the last centuries.
