    Interesting rocks on the German-French castle path. Not to be confused with the highest, the same name rock formation at Drachenfelsen, near Daahn, which with approx. 60 meters wall height is the highest in the Palatinate Forest.

      It bears the name because it has the exact shape of a key.

        Impressive sandstone rock, unfortunately without a view at the top.
