Hiking

Striking rock formations made of porphyrite. The rocks narrow a wide valley like a gate to a narrow passage. Impressive to look at!

Suddenly this rock formation appears abruptly. No wonder there was once a castle here

The Felsentor is an impressive natural monument that you should definitely climb in good weather to enjoy the view and a break in a beautiful place. When it is slippery and wet or when there is strong wind, the fun is rather moderate! 😉
