Tips
The rock collection, popularly known as "Hockstein", is one of Markersdorf's many sights. On a hike through the forest, which begins on the northeastern edge of the town, you reach the Hocksteine at the high point of the path after several ups and downs. The position of the highest boulder looks so threatening that it is widely feared that it could fall at any moment. Consequently, the hiker hastens to pass through this place. The "perched" position of this boulder gave the collection its name. There are various legends surrounding the creation of the Hockstein. The Taura stone man is said to have created this rock massif when he built a new residence.
