    15 m high sandstone rock horseshoe stone (Podkova), which resembles a head with helmet remotely. This overhanging rock tower, with its jagged summit, was probably named after some horseshoe recesses carved into the overhanging wall above the path. According to legend, they were branded by the horseshoes of a fiery stallion of a robber baron escaping from his pursuers.

      The horseshoe stone is located directly on the trail below the same Hufeisenberg.

        Some indentations that look like hoof irons give it its name
