The Hohfels also called "high rock", is a tertiary limestone reef with an open to the east cave, which also has an opening to the top and the mountain side has a narrow passage. Due to the strong growth of shrubs on the marly mixture of clay and finely divided lime around the eastern side of the excavated limestone, it is not easy to get to the karstified cave. Getting there is difficult, but not impossible, because from the Ritterstein on the wine trail always straight ahead you will find after about 200 meters a narrow path through the bushes cut trail.

The knight stone points to a prehistoric living cave. It is not easy to visit the altitude because of the risk of collapse. Wild animal bones, ceramic vessels and jewelry were found here, which suggest a human dwelling in the high Middle Ages.
