Short but crisp climb through the Kapuzinerfelsen with a detour (really easy climbing) to the viewpoint "Auf den Kapuzinerfelsen".
Unfortunately the GPS recording between the rocks doesn't work well and is up to 30 m off. I've run this half a dozen times, this is the "best" record.

These rocks are a natural monument (Forchheim ND 136). and call themselves Capuchin Rocks. The name comes from the fact that these columns create associations with figures with hoods on.
A small, crisp path through the bush forest leads to the lookout rock.
