ザルデンブルクの天然記念物・トップ20

地質学的考察 周辺全体に、強い球状風化作用を示す岩石の露頭が数多く見られます。第三紀には、岩石は深く風化しました。より緻密な花崗岩のドーム状の部分でのみ、風化はそれほど速く進行しませんでした。第四紀には、風化層が除去されました。無傷の花崗岩の領域だけが残りました。「シュタイネルネス・キルヒライン」付近の丸みを帯びた花崗岩のブロックからなる岩石群は、小さな空洞、ニッチ、岩の通路を形成しています。バイエルン州環境庁（LfU）。 https://www.umweltatlas.bayern.de/standortauskunft/rest/reporting/sb_geotope/generate?additionallayerfieldvalue=272R028

a highlight in every season

The starting point of the four-kilometer hike with 150 meters of elevation gain is the hiking car park in Entschenreuth (Zum Wackelstein, 94163 Saldenburg-Entschenreuth). There is also a bus stop in the village. We follow the well-signposted circular hiking trail 84 for the entire tour. From the car park, we begin the hike on a forest path toward the edge of the forest. Right at the beginning, we pass a meadow with numerous knapweeds, which bloom well into autumn. If you look closely, you can see that the bright pink blossoms are surrounded by brown, scaly bracts, which together look a bit like a pineapple. After a few hundred meters, the path branches off to the left into the forest. From here, it's a steady climb, with some very steep sections awaiting us on the way to the Wackelstein. At the edge of the forest, you can hear a veritable concert of birds, and the call and song of a coal tit mingles with the great tits. At first, the forest is particularly idyllic, with numerous pines mingling with the beeches and spruces. A closer look at the forest floor is also worthwhile, as the heather is currently in bloom here. Gradually, the path becomes steeper and steeper, and after a while, the pines give way to a beech forest with large, moss-covered stones. Once at the top, it's worth taking a detour to the right to the wobbling stone. Can you make the stone, which weighs an estimated 50 tons, wobble? It's worth trying! The information board there tells you all about the origins of such natural phenomena. After this detour, we head back west, continuing along the Red 84 trail. Now the path descends steeply and gently. After a quarter of an hour, we pass an impressive rock formation, the Stone Church. Once at the bottom, we rejoin the same forest path at the edge of the forest, which we follow back to the parking lot. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/aktivitaeten/wandern/wandertipps/zum-wackelstein-bei-entschenreuth

The Stone Church is a rock formation. The weathered rocks form towers, crevices and caves. An iron cross is attached to one such cave. Hence the name Stone Church.

Beautiful path along the Wolfsteiner Ohe. The stream gurgles through the narrow gorge and repeatedly plunges picturesquely a few meters over boulders and large stones into the depths.

The rocking stone - makes the big boulder rock with an edge length of about 3 to 4 m, flat top and curved bottom, rests on an almost flat rock slab. Despite its great weight, it should weigh at least 50 tons, a single strong person can easily make it rock. How to get to the Wackelstein natural monument: The Wackelstein hiking trail, trail no. 84 from Entschenreuth leads directly to this rare natural phenomenon.

Great hiking trail, sturdy shoes very recommended, lots of slippery spots / roots / blocked path without railings. Not suitable for smaller children (under 8 depending on their surefootedness and experience). But there are easier sections to walk.

Very nice hike near Ringelai on the Buchberger Leite parallel to the river. The water is clear, but brown. There are several hiking trails here that are very well signposted. There are also plenty of play options for children. One of the most beautiful areas in Bavaria. 🌲🌳🌲next to the stone gorge!
