Be sure to go down the steps here.
Not only the rest area further down is worthwhile but also the sometimes bizarre rocky landscape around it.
A good view of the castle in the morning, a nice sunny spot in the afternoon.

Hiking

As locals have assured me: Here you have the most beautiful views of Frankenstein: the ruins of Frankenstein Castle, the prot. Church and parts of Frankenstein as well as the Rabenfelsen (above the other side of the federal road B 37 to DÜW).
A little above the viewing plateau (directly under a power pole) there is a nice bench with a table.

The ascent to the Heidefels leads up through a gate over a narrow forest path.
