Sturdy footwear and surefootedness are a must

I don't know why it's called via ferrata, but it's beautiful there

Beautiful caves on the Riegelberg with a wonderful view of a former Roman estate

Wonderfully beautiful and great for relaxing

Anyone who follows the trail here must be aware that it ends up becoming a real via ferrata. The beginning of the trail is like a beautiful mountain hiking trail. Towards the end, however, you need to be absolutely sure-footed and wear good shoes, especially on the descent, even if it is only a short stretch. The scenery is of course very attractive. 🧗🙂

The rock formation here has a large hole. The path down into the valley to Glashütte is quite challenging. A T2 trail. The Hohle Stein in Unterkochen The Hohle Stein lies above Unterkochen-Glashütte on a steep rocky outcrop. It represents a spacious rock hollow, complemented by two cave chimneys leading upwards and a long, very shallow cave passage. This place is also popularly known as the "Hell's Throat," which is quite appropriate, as entering from above is not entirely safe and plunges vertically into the ground, and is only recognized at a later stage. The Hohle Stein is the most famous and legendary cave in Unterkochen, located next to the "Schlossbaufeld" (castle building field) where the Kocherburg castle once stood. Among other things, an old tradition tells us that the Hohle Stein served as a hiding place during wartime, which is quite conceivable, given its well-hidden location on a steep mountain slope, offering protection from bad weather and making it difficult for strangers without good local knowledge to find. The fact that people occasionally stayed at the Hohle Stein is also confirmed by a hearth with a chimney in the rock. Its legendary status and proximity to other attractions, such as sections of the Härtsfeld Railway, the Kocherburg Tunnel, the viaduct, the prehistoric ramparts, and the Kocherburg Castle, make a trip there worthwhile.
