    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

    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.

    "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. "
