The rock gate is an imposing "natural structure". A rock formation made of red sandstone, a natural rock breakthrough, the opening of which is about 1.80 meters high. It is not far from the forester's house Beckenhof and gives the impression of an archway, north of the forest restaurant Beckenhof. It is right on the Rock Forest Premium Trail. Follow the signposted Premiumweg from the Beckenhof location to the Felsentor. It is accessible all year round. Recommendable.

The rock gate stands there as if painted. And there are other interesting rocks right next to it.
The descent leads to the nearby Beckenhof forester's lodge.
