Kesselfinkenloch Rock Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Kesselfinkenloch is a cave ruin on the Albtrauf near the Hochwang district of Lenning.
The Kesselfinkenloch is a collapsed sinkhole located directly on the steep drop of the Swabian Alb. The rock hole is about 10 m wide, 15 m long and 10 m deep in the mass limestone (coral deposits) caused by the collapse of a cave. Only the cave entrance has been preserved as a mighty stone arch ("arch").
During the Thirty Years War, the cave is said to have provided refuge to a tinker named Fink, hence the name Kesselfinkenloch.
The Kesselfinkenloch is designated as a large natural monument under the name Kesselfinkenloch with rock section and Frühmeßfels and also as a protected geotope under the name Doline Kesselfinkenloch W von Lenningen.

View of Hohenneuffen Castle from the Parkplatzfelsen viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The rock group not far from the Hohen Neuffen has had a kind of renaissance in recent years. The small climbing area can be reached in an absolute record time. Word got around quickly. The formerly little-visited rock is now teeming with rope teams and climbers on good days. The rock is also so brilliantly aligned that it can be climbed here even on windless winter days.

Only the described rocks may be climbed. The rock head from the "Left Rock" may be entered. The redirections must be used on all other rocks. Furthermore, only the described paths around the rocks may be used.
