Tips
A basalt columnar formation is visible on its summit, which is known as a lion's head because of its shape. The northern summit "Kleine Landeskrone" is covered with deciduous forest, while the more rocky southern summit is covered by dry shrubbery. The former quarry began around 1850 and was used to extract gravel. It was discontinued around 1905. Because of its rare flora, which include the avian root and the sanicle, the mountain was declared a natural monument as early as 1938.
