    Tips

    February 26, 2022

    If you follow hiking trail 7 from Burggrafenried (near Bischofsmais), the path leads directly to the small mountain called Bornstein. This got its name from a conspicuous rock formation on the summit, as local researcher Sepp Probst, who has been dealing with the mysticism of the Bavarian Forest for many years, knows. The Bornstein invites you to scramble around, there are many interesting things to discover - such as slits and smaller caves that have arisen naturally. The strange thing about the stone conglomerate: It is also characterized by artificially created sacrificial bowls and several channels - which may indicate that this place was of great importance to our ancestors even in pre-Christian times.
