The Ebnether Rock Gate is, so to speak, the "photogenic centerpiece" of the rock labyrinth. It is an imposing natural archway, formed by the erosion and drifting apart of massive sandstone blocks. The gate is so high and wide that adults can comfortably walk through it upright. The massive walls consist of the Rhaetian-Lias sandstone typical of the region. It is a prime example of joint formation. Over millennia, the rock fissures have widened due to weathering, leaving behind this arch-like opening.
