From here you can admire the striking Krechelsfels on the other side of the Nahe. Due to its geological and morphological characteristics and because it is home to rare plants and animals, the area around the rock has been declared a nature reserve.

👀 View of the Krechelsfels – a massive rock face surrounded by greenery
From the opposite slope or from the edge of the forest, an impressive view of the Krechelsfels opens up: a massive, steep rock face that rises prominently from the surrounding forest. The contrast between the rock and the green canopy makes this spot particularly photogenic.Tip: The rock looks best in the late afternoon, when the light falls at an angle and reveals its contours – don't forget your camera!
