From this point you have a wonderful view of the picturesque rock village of Krögelstein, which is embedded in the narrow valley of the Kaiserbach. The fields are on the heights and the meadows in the upper and lower valley. The arch of an old masonry, the remains of the castle of the Knights of Crogelstein, arches over a narrow rocky gorge below the church. In July 1523 soldiers of the Swabian League set fire to the castle and placed four tons of powder under the large watchtower, which lifted it from the ground and let it fall into the ditch. The symbol of the village is the "Alte Fritz", a 30m high dolomite rock. Also worth mentioning are the "Schwedenfelsen" and the "Löwenfelsen", which has the shape of a lying lion.

From here it's not far to the floor cave. In the opposite direction you come to the firewood cross. For geocachers it is worth taking a look at the app.
