Great rock formation

The place invites you to take a rest

Very impressive given the historical background of the caves.

A place to linger on the Rodalb River – a new seating area invites you to pause. Since May 14, 2025, a lovingly designed seating area has enhanced the popular bridge crossing on the Rodalb River. Directly next to the babbling stream and surrounded by lush greenery, a weatherproof rest area with solid wooden benches and a table was built at this idyllic spot – a place to take a breather, have a picnic, or simply enjoy nature. What makes this place special: The new seating area was installed by volunteers – a strong symbol of civic engagement and a vibrant community. Thanks to the "Häädler" (sorry if the spelling is incorrect), another resting spot is now available for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers.

The Rodalben Tourist Association dedicated this beautiful shelter "in memory and gratitude" to the popular local priest and dean Martin Ehling (May 30, 1956 - May 17, 2014), who died suddenly and unexpectedly shortly before his 58th birthday. An information board describes the various stages of his (spiritual) work.

Unfortunately, this seating area only offers a limited (somewhat overgrown) view of Rodalben. (A nice view is only available further up from the "Kanzel" viewing platform, about 300 meters away.)
