The Rhaetolias rock "Hohler Stein" is a unique natural monument on the Forkendorfer Bach. The rock with its 23 m long semi-cave has been an important geotope in the region for centuries, which formed the aforementioned semi-cave when the creek was washed away. The Rhätolias rock shows impressive forms of weathering in the sandstone, namely the so-called honeycomb weathering and tafoni formation.
