Hiking

Here, and only here, you can cut off the Nusplinger slaked lime with (brought) hammers and chisels and see what the rock looks like under the earth. The Klopfplatz is (almost) on the Geological trail "In the realm of the sea angels", a 4.7 km long, very beautiful circular walk.

Great for kids. It is important to bring a hammer and chisel with you.

Hiking

Heavy equipment would make sense, hammer and chisel is quickly at its limits with the hard rock. Otherwise, however, very great and you have a lot of fun
