    The sandstone cliffs directly on the forest path are really worth seeing and are a nice change.

      The former Reuhelberg, which consists of several hills, was named after the red beer brewer Georg Schmaus (1619–1682), who bought the land from the city of Nuremberg in 1670. The Schmausenbuck was the highest elevation in the Nuremberg urban area until Brunn was incorporated (407 m). The highest hill is called Gritz (from Old High German Grütz = poor forest soil). The castle sandstone mined there served as building material for the city until modern times. Around 1800, the old quarries were used as a natural theater; today they are partially integrated into the grounds of the zoo.

        Right next to the Tiergarten, you can see these amazing rock formations. Great climbing fun for all ages.
