    Hiking

    The stone was always moving. But now the tree trunk, with which the whole thing was made to vibrate, has broken off.

    Hiking

    The Wackelstein on the Franconian mountain path, is a natural spectacle that you must have seen necessarily. We did not think that you could vibrate 250 tons. Also as a photomotive in the current light a show. Many beautifully mossy rocks, which are also very interesting as card motifs.

    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.
