Beautiful elongated rock formation made of red sandstone above Nothweiler.
Can be combined with the ascent to Wegelnburg, for example.

Long rock that lives up to its name. It's wonderful to walk along here, the paths lead directly past the rock.

The hiking trail between Kuhnenkopf and Wegelnburg castle ruins leads below this elongated, beautiful sandstone formation.

Between Kuhnenkopf and Sindelsberg, this great rock stretches along a large part of the length of the pass. The forest path that leads directly along the "long rock" is no less beautiful!
