Hiking

The rocks are simply beautiful. You can watch climbers. You just have to see it.

Hiking

The rock walls rise up around 20 metres from the basalt-like phonolite rock. The steep rock walls are particularly visible on the east side. On the rugged west side there are several entrances that allow sporty hikers to climb up without any problems, even without a rope. But walking around the rock formation, which is over 100 metres long, is also an experience.

Hiking

It's worth venturing off the path here and climbing a bit higher... but be careful... it can be slippery.
