This large, misshapen rock lies on a wide loop in the Salzach. Those who once came too close to the rock could hear a ghostly sigh from the rock. Only when the Burghausers built a cross on the rock around 150 years ago did it remain silent. Since then the rock has been called Kreuzfelsen. The ghostly goings-on are based on a saga that tells the unfortunate story of a young couple.

Very beautiful rocks in a loop of the Salzach, definitely worth a visit.

Nagelfluh can only form near the surface in this area, as this is where the pebbles from the glaciers were deposited. Nagelfluh rocks that are "below", e.g. the Kreuzfelsen, have broken down from the Nagelfluh cover, which is around 50 - 80 m higher there, because the Salzach has "undermined" it.
