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.

Hidden in the dense greenery of the Bavarian Forest lies the Diebstein Cave, a fascinating natural phenomenon and a place that has captured the imagination for centuries. Formed by so-called "semi-finished weathering," the cave offers a striking insight into the geological dynamics of the region: The rock is less resistant in deeper layers and weathers more quickly – this is how the cave-like cavities, which can now be explored with a flashlight, were formed. The name "Diebstein Cave" is not accidental. In the past, it was considered sinister by the local population, a refuge for poachers and cattle rustlers, who hid their loot here and allegedly even slaughtered it. Legend has it that they hung the meat on nails inside the cave. Traces of this were reportedly visible until the 1930s. The cave is part of a popular hiking trail around Saldenburg and Thurmansbang. The route leads through tranquil forests, past rock formations and small chapels, an experience for nature lovers, history buffs, and anyone seeking the unassuming and unspoiled. The Diebstein Cave is not a tourist hotspot with a signage system and souvenir shop, but a powerful place whose silence and isolation touch the soul. https://www.ostbayern-tourismus.de/attraktionen/diebsteinhoehle-462b9fbdc5

Very nice rocks and a great trail

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

Beautiful easy hike on hiking trail 1 through the Saußbachklamm

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
