A 30-meter-wide and eight-meter-high rock roof: The protected site was visited by ice age hunters. Stone devices of the Neanderthals from the Middle Paleolithic and from the end of the last ice age were found here. In the small cave, an unknown artist has built a myriad of cairns.

An impressive natural monument.
The climb, approximately 15 minutes and 85 meters in elevation, is well worth it.
The Stone Hall is part of the Kremstal Canyon, a region with other interesting caves such as the Gudenus Cave and the Eichmayer Cave.
