For experienced hikers, the rocky landscape is difficult to climb from below.
Cyclists should approach from above and have access there via a forest / back path.
You can expect a bizarre rocky landscape and a view towards Kuhberg, Schönheide, Stützengrün and Eibenstock dam.
Finally, I recommend taking the descent over the trail towards the "Old Forest House on the Mulde". There is also a small bridge and there is a connection to the trail over the Knock, with further rocks and wonderful views.

Small update, December 2025. The view is still outstanding. But you shouldn't wait too much longer for a trip; in another 2-3 years the forest will have reclaimed the rock formation.
