The "Berken-von-der-Duba-Wacht" was probably an outpost of Hohnstein Castle.
"The noble family Berka von Dubá and Lipa (Birke von Dauba and Leipa, also Berken von der Duba; Czech: Berkové z Dubé) was an important prehistoric noble family in Bohemia and Moravia, a branch of the Lords of Dauba, related to the Lords Krinecky von Ronow , whose origins are lost in the legends of North Bohemia and Saxony..."

Small cowshed
The narrow, easily accessible climbing path (black triangle) to the Kleiner Kuhstall is a bit out of the way and the rock gate itself also seems to enjoy the peace and seclusion. However, standing in front of the massive rock formation is a sublime experience.
If you want to “conquer” it, you can crawl through it depending on your height.
