The weathered rock of the Bieley is a group of rocks from the Devonian period (419.2–358.9 million years ago) and is located on a hill some 550 meters above sea level. The rock formation is made of quartzite and rises about 50 meters high. The view from the top is breathtakingly beautiful.

The most beautiful viewpoint in the Eierbachtal, especially in the direction of Schwalm. No other place on the Eierbach offers this uniquely wonderful panoramic view. Ideal for a souvenir photo. …

Hiking

This striking slate rock is often called the "Matterhorn from Perlenbachtal" because of its shape. A gallows is said to have stood on the Bieley until the French Revolution. The so-called "pearl trespassers" were hanged on this gallows. It is possible that the gallows here or on the gallows hill were only there as a deterrent and the sentences were carried out elsewhere. What is certain, however, is that pearl fishing was a privilege of the sovereign and pearl poaching was punished with death.
