Water Rocks, Kirkel

Highlight • Natural Monument

Although it hadn't rained for the last few days and the forest paths were really dry, the rock was totally wet, it felt like it was dripping from every crack. Fascinating!

March 10, 2024,Kirkeler Tafeltour 🥰🥰

An exciting tour from the Naturfreundehaus in Kirkel, through beautiful mixed forest on small paths. You will pass numerous bizarre rock formations, pulpits and caves. Not far from the forest classroom, the mysterious women's fountain, which was probably used as a place of worship by the Celts, invites you to take a break.
On the edge of the village of …

February 20, 2022,Kirkeler Tafeltour 🥾🌧️👍

Even when it rains a wonderful tour with great paths and gigantic rock formations 😍 You can stop at the Naturfreunde Haus, right at the start and finish with a large parking lot 🚙 Unfortunately, Komoot's recording left a lot to be desired again, paths were simply completed with a straight line, insane 🙈
So the actual tour was 9km!🥾

I actually wanted to do a longer day tour today, but I couldn't get out of bed early because of my cold.
So I picked a route nearby from a hiking book.
I parked on the L113 and from there walked on the Kirkeler Tafeltour to Kirkel Castle. Unfortunately, the local museum is only open until the end of September. …

We went the tour against the official direction in order to be able to admire the climax, the rocks, at the end. Good if you have competent hiking guides. The first kilometers led on the slope on a narrow trail, which was very …
