The granite rock group of the Zigeunersteine lies on the west slope of the Kornberg, on the north route from the station Kirchenlamitz-Ost to the summit. Ancient gypsy hordes are said to have found refuge here. The largest block of gypsy stones is about nine meters long, four to seven meters wide and two meters high. He should be around 250 tons. One of the rocks called Wackelstein can be made to wobble with a wooden bar.

Due to erosion processes, the contact surface of the "rocking stone" is so small that it can be made to rock with a tree trunk used as a lever. The stone is said to have a weight of about 250 tons. If you ask someone to vibrate the stone from the outside, you can admire the wobbling very nicely from the small "cave" on the side facing the north path (be careful - do not put your fingers in the "wobbly gap"! )

Impressive rock formation that lies on the edge of a great trail from Kirchenlamitz to Kornberg.
