    Tips

    The house-sized sandstone block is located on the left edge of Altenstein, near Pfaffendorfer Gasse, about 150 m from the south wall of the ruins. A few steps indicate that the rock was already used as a lookout or observation post in the Middle Ages. The steps start about 2 meters above the current ground. A retractable ladder probably provided contact with the ground, which could be quickly retracted in an emergency. There is also a bench for walkers at the foot of the rock.

      Imposing rock with a bench in front that invites you to take a little rest and enjoy a beautiful view.
