    The Schwedenfelsen (often also called Schwedenfels) is a striking rock formation in the "rock village" of Krögelstein, which is known for its spectacular dolomite cliffs and houses built close to the rock face. The name "Schwedenfelsen" dates back to the Thirty Years' War. According to a local legend, the inhabitants of Krögelstein hid from the Swedish troops in the craggy rocks and the surrounding caves.

      Wonderful view of Krögelstein. Only the descent is difficult to find.
