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.

Wackelstein Trail - Hiking Trail No. 84 - Shaking a massive rock with sheer muscle power – this is the experience offered by the Wackelstein Trail, which leads from Entschenreuth into the forest and also to the Little Stone Church. Distance: approx. 4 km Elevation gain: 450 - 610 m Start: Entschenreuth district Marking: No. 84, white number in a red circle on a white background Duration: approx. 1.5 to 2 hours Accessible: no Surface: forest roads, forest paths Difficulty: medium The circular hiking trail begins in the Entschenreuth district at the end of the municipal road "Zum Wackelstein," where parking is also available. It then leads along a field path to the edge of the forest. From there, the hike can either go directly to the Wackelstein and continue to the Little Stone Church, or vice versa. From here on, it's a circular hiking trail. The trail initially follows the "Wackelstein" (Wackelstein) destination. Wooden arrows point the way, which becomes a true trail through the forest, with some steep ascents. A natural monument, the Wackelstein, forms the highest point of the circular hiking trail at over 600 meters. Several rocks are located on a broad knoll, one of which is particularly striking. A large block with edges measuring approximately three to four meters, a flat top and a curved bottom, rests on an almost flat slab of rock. Despite its enormous weight of approximately 50 tons, a single strong person can easily make it rock if they find the right spot on the rock. From the Wackelstein, the trail continues, initially backing off for a bit. A wooden signpost soon points the way further through the forest in a different direction, then back down again. The walk to the Little Stone Church is partly quite leisurely, but at times also almost adventurous, through the forest into the valley. A cluster of large boulders on the left side of the path finally forms the "Little Stone Church." After the Little Stone Church, it's not far to the starting point. The trail descends again along field and forest paths, finally returning to the starting point in Entschenreuth. Refreshment options: Gasthaus Klessinger, Hundsruck, Hauptstraße 31, Closed: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Tel. +49 8504 8239 https://www.saldenburg.de/seite/417597/wackelstein-steig.html

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

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

Wonderful forest path! Easy to walk and with the trees on the slopes on both sides of the Ilz there is a good chance of being able to do a shady lap if you prefer that in the summer heat.
