    Hiking

    The Alpstein, an extinct volcano, was formed around 50 to 60 million years ago, in the Tertiary period. The basalt cone was formed by the eruption of fiery, liquid lava through the overlying red sandstone.
    The Alpstein is an official natural monument and designated as a nature reserve.
    From here there is a very beautiful view towards the Hoher Meißner with its transmission towers.
