    The grandfather chair is located on the Oberer Terrassenweg.
    From here you have a wonderful view of the Schmilkaer Kessel. At the view you can see a sandstone block knocked out as a seat, after which the place is definitely named. The Oberer Terrassenweg begins in the east at the top of the Holy Staircase. The Rotkehlchenstiege and the Starke Stiege are crossed.
    The path ends at the Breite Kluft. The entire route is marked as a climbing access with a black arrow. So it's not a normal hiking trail.

    The view from this "seat stone" is definitely worth deviating a few meters from the path. The seat is "twisted" (back to the view) but so far no one has been able to turn the stone over... ;-)
    But it is a good place to put your backpacks down for a while or to eat something.
