Ringelfelsen

The 653-meter-high Ringelfelsen (also known as the Rinnlstein) is geologically part of the Waldsassen Slate Mountains. It is composed of phyllite and was formed in the Cambrian period, approximately 541 to 485 million years ago. The name likely derives from a spring and the small stream emerging from it, marking the boundary. This "rinne" (channel) from the Rinelbrunnen (rinel fountain), which flowed onto the Rinnlwiesen (rinel meadows), gave the Rinnlstein its name in the late 19th century. Over time, the large stone near the Rinelbrunnen gradually became the Ringelfelsen (ringel rock). A wooden hut was built at this popular hiking destination in 1947, but was replaced by a brick hut after a fire. Since 1977, a cross has adorned the overhanging rock face.
