If you look up, you can see the skull with its empty eye sockets. The rock formations, which are around ten meters high, can be climbed - there is a seat carved into the rock at the top. Behind the skull, you can also admire the Drachenstein rock formation.

Hiking

The short detour of 200 meters is definitely worth it to see the huge rock formations. I was really surprised by the sight.
The ladder takes you steeply up, there is no view, but that doesn't matter.
Then there is the Weissenberg summit cross in the immediate vicinity.

Hiking

The "Skull" really looks a bit scary.😅 If you go to the back of the impressive rock formation, you can climb the "Drachenstein" using the stairs...but ⚠️Be careful...when it's wet, the stones are pretty slippery . Surefootedness and smart footwear are also highly recommended.😉☀️🧡
