ワイアーの天然記念物・トップ12

The area is enclosed by huge gates. It is private territory

Under the very rock, which forms a rock shelter, lived for a long time the hermit known as "the Falkenfels", from 1895 until his death in 1902. There is no certainty about the origins of Edouard Hinbeer, nicknamed friendly by the population and in the archives the Waldbruder (brother of the forest). A valiant man, he looked after the pigs of the commune of Hellert. The population esteemed him, considered him a holy man and took turns bringing him their midday meals.

Super view

You can ride your bike (gravel bike) up to about 100 meters from the viewpoint. Then park your bike or push/carry it.

The way back to St. Q is separated at the bottom by a large gate and a fence/the river/stream! Private property!

Quite a beautiful viewpoint, and an interesting arcaded rock formation to observe. ⚠️ On the other hand, when I passed there, the ♦️/+ yellow path (from the crossroads after the Ancienne Maison Forestière du Gros Chêne to the Storindal Meadow) was punctuated with chains and ''Private Property ⛔'' signs. '. There are no/no more markers/signs indicating the presence of the rock, and it was difficult to then reach Saint Quirin (sections made inaccessible).

The Falkenfels is now in a year-round protected area. All paths there are forbidden and also dismantled and blocked.

Here you can find 2 former rock houses. Also a bench with a table for a picnic. There is an information board in French at the entrance. It's about 15 minutes from the parking lot. We did a little circular walk.
