The tower-like rock is one of the most beautiful Bavarian geotopes - selected by the Bavarian Geological State Office. The distinctive rock formation of the castle stone is part of a limestone platform, which was deposited in a subtropical shallow sea during the Upper Jurassic period.

the Burgsteinfelsen stands solidly dominant on the cycle path along the Altmühl between Dollnstein and Breitenfurt. There are often a lot of climbers here and several benches invite you to rest.
