Great section in the front area of the Hochstein massif. From the Dahn side, the mountain is inconspicuous and you can only see the Hochstein Nadel behind the chapel in the honorary cemetery. But from the south it is a 70m high vertical rock face.

The climb up here is very worthwhile. Super great view. However, sturdy shoes are recommended. You should also be free from giddiness here and there.
