The Wendelstein (734 m) is part of a long chain of rocky cliffs that jut sharply out of the earth. This striking rock formation begins at the "Hoher Stein" (Czech Republic), continues via the "Alter Söll" (Schöneck), the "Rehhübel," "Rinnelstein," "Großer Affenstein," "Kleiner Affenstein," "Genesenstein," "Wendelstein," and "Schwarzer Stein" (all Grünbach) to the "Bendelstein" near Auerbach. The Wendelstein, like all the others, is composed of greywacke quartzite. This is a dark gray, mostly highly consolidated sandstone composed of feldspar, chlorite, and mica, with a high proportion of slate and quartzite. About 500 million years ago, the Vogtland region was covered by a shallow sea. Sand and mud settled on the bottom, which subsequently solidified into sandstone and slate, the sedimentary rock, due to climate change and landslide. Forced upwards under enormous heat and pressure, phyllite and quartzite were formed. (https://www.gruenbach.de/freizeit_aktiv)

Nodic Camp has a total of five cottages, each accommodating four people. The cottages have a living area of 45 m², and all feature a living room with a kitchenette, a bathroom, a hallway, a bedroom with two beds, and another room with a bunk bed. Outside, there is a terrace and a storage room. The camp is located in a largely unspoiled area, surrounded by extensive coniferous forests at an altitude of approximately 800 m above sea level. A small game reserve is located nearby. The animals are very friendly.

On the border between Hammerbrücke and Grünbach lies an old technical monument: the "Oberer Floßgraben" (Upper Floßgraben), also called "Riß" (Risk). Starting in 1571, the Riss was excavated over a length of 4 km. Old chronicles report that it was first used for rafting in 1584. Anyone interested in how rafting was done in ancient times can see it at the annual demonstration rafting event in Muldenberg. (www.floesser-verein.de) At the end of the ditch are the so-called Riß Falls (the only waterfalls in the Vogtland region). Originally, this section of the ditch was carved into the rock by human hands in the shape of a ramp to allow timber to easily overcome this difference in elevation. Over the centuries, the water has worked its way deeper and deeper into the rocky floor of the Göltzsch Valley. This last section, the Riß Falls; blend beautifully into the surrounding forest landscape of the small river Weiße Göltzsch. (https://www.gruenbach.de)

The Wendelstein has been protected as a geological natural monument since November 5, 1938. A triangulation column dated 1864 was erected on the highest part of the rock, representing a second-order survey point in the course of the historic Saxon national survey. The Wendelstein is 734 m above sea level and is part of a long chain of rocky cliffs that jut steeply out of the earth. This striking rock formation begins at the "Hoher Stein" (Czech Republic), continues via the "Alter Söll" (Schöneck), the "Rehhübel," "Rinnelstein," the "Großer Affenstein" and "Kleiner Affenstein," the "Genesenstein," "Wendelstein," and the "Schwarzer Stein" (all Grünbach) to the "Bendelstein" near Auerbach.
