        The Scharfenstein is a basalt cone of a long-extinct volcano. Anyone who wants to climb there - sturdy shoes are a must - should at least have some experience. There was a fatal fall there in the past.
        If you just want to go climbing there, you can also do so by car. There is a car park right there on the A49 KASSEL - FRITZLAR. But the Scharfenstein is also a nice stopover/destination and rest area for hikers and cyclists.
