    A must on the tour, and clearly described on the information board at the entrance to the Weissingkuppe

      The rock towers on the Weissingkuppe are sponge reefs, very nicely explained on the information board. The Weissingkuppe is station 6 of the "Karstkundischer Wanderpfad". Station board with explanation is at the southern entrance.
