    The first documentary evidence was found around 1350 in the fief book "Friedrich the Strict".

        Now, at an elevation of approximately 700 meters, past the mountain hotel, we see the Greifensteine (Griffin Stones).

        Unfortunately, we can't climb up, but we learn that the turnstile for the path to the viewing rock was damaged (September 9, 2024).
        There was once even a castle on the rocks, first mentioned in 1350.
