From here, if the visibility is good, we can enjoy a panoramic view of the Rocher de Dabo, the Wangenbourg castle ruins and the Alsatian plain. If you dare to climb down the rock to the right, you will reach the Geissfelsen grotto. The Geissfelsen is said to commemorate the goat that brought the milk of immortality to the warriors of Valhalla. The grotto is said to have been an entrance to Valhalla.
