Tips
The natural monument "Hoher Stein" right next to our beautiful Fürstenstein Castle is listed in the geotope register of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (No. 275R001). The granite summit cliffs show pronounced weathering of the "Felsburg - woolsack formation" type with block flows in the foothills. These were created in the last ice age. The rock massif at the "Hoher Stein" is a unique and bizarre-looking rock formation and is reminiscent of the bow of a ship from prehistoric times and is therefore popularly known as Noah's Ark.
