ヒンターシュミディングの絶景の山頂・トップ9

The Geistlicher Stein (Spiritual Stone) of Ringelai: A Valuable Geotope At the Geistlicher Stein, several imposing rock cliffs, rising up to 40 meters from the slope, offer a beautiful view to the southwest into the valley basin of Ringelai. The rocks, composed of granitic-granodioritic dark diatexites ("palites": tectonically deformed rocks of the mylonite zone in the vicinity of the Pfahl fault zone), exhibit distinctive spheroidal weathering. The rock here has a granitic habit. Numerous large feldspar crystals are embedded in a coarse-grained matrix.

In winter, Bavarian Forest trail

The Haidel is a 1,167 meter high mountain in the Bavarian Forest. On its summit there is a 35 meter high observation tower that offers an impressive panoramic view of the Bavarian-Bohemian border regions all the way to the Alps. The observation platform is 30.33 meters high and can be reached via 159 steps.

In summer it is a quiet place with beautiful views. There are several restaurants below the summit.

Very nice view, but if you climb on the rocks you should not be afraid of heights and should not be afraid of heights. A little further up there is also a wooden bench with a table.

Very beautiful view

Always a great hike to Geistliches Stein, no matter which direction you come from. We always enjoy going up there. The view is worth the effort in all seasons. Can also be reached by mountain bike via a few paths, provided you have good technology

At the time of the Swedish wars, so the legend goes, the rock offered protection to creditors who were hiding from the troops.
