The remarkable rock formation made of dolomite rock looks like a very large gate and was named after August Sieghardt, Sieghardtfelsen or Sieghardttor. The rock formation is not easy to find, since the signposts are very sparsely set up here.

Hiking

Rock gate located on the slope, which is impressive. The climb is NOT extremely steep. Sturdy shoes should be a matter of course and a real hiker does not need any advice.
