The Bürgelplatte (446 m) - a group of rocks with sparse remains of a possible rampart, probably a small refugee castle ("Bürgel" means "small castle") from the time of the migration of peoples, forms the conclusion. From there the way back follows.

Interesting location that you would not expect, in the middle of the forest!

In the middle of the forest is this staircase—called Bürgelplatte. It's a perfect spot to have your photo taken on the stairs. 😉
