Climbing is prohibited until the end of June, so there's not much going on until then. After that, there will definitely be a few climbers around.

Rock formation with vertical smooth walls. Climbing rocks with a high level of difficulty.
The hiking trail, which climbs up between the formation upwards, is very beautiful.

Presumable location of a abandoned facility from the Middle Ages.
See: komoot.de/highlight/683123

edit:
I have yet found something to it, is essentially consistent with my above-mentioned embodiments.

"Burgstall am Schwedenfelsen.
Höhenburg (Spornburg, Turmburg), presumably upstream guard tower of Rothenstein Castle on a bizarre rock tower.
Probably around 1200.
Departed, a few remains of walls and a moat suggestively recognizable, below the rock tower is a rectangular depression in the rock to see, probably the site of a building. "

Annotation:
In this spring you can also find a neighboring "Burgstall am Rothenstein". Since both are occupied with a photo as well as from the description, there is clearly a permutation of the name / place name in the source.
