Imposing out of the forest protruding rock nose with summit cross.
A secured by railing rest area offers a great view, a guest book and a small self-service wine store (was unfortunately empty).

This time (12/2020) there were several small wine bottles with kind regards.
Unfortunately, the door of the vinotheque can no longer be closed because the wood has swollen.

A little information about the cross erected in 1940 and then renewed in 1946, 1968, 1992 and 2017:
The cross (3.30 x 2.00 m) was erected as a sign of resistance against the Nazi ban on church youth organizations as a simple cross on this then hidden place. After the war it was renewed and later received the inscription "Jesus Christ our hope".

In the Weseler Bergsteigerlied it says in the refrain:
"Yes, yes, at the Vogelsnack
the world is still rack
there is nature
still really pure"

Just a personal assumption about the name finding through observation on site:
Large flocks of wild birds stay at the foot of the rock - even in winter - and find shelter in the rugged rock, the towering deciduous trees and the lush undergrowth. When I visited down there, there was a loud jumble of chirping.
