Haferdeck Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Haferdeckfelsen towers impressively over the pond near Friedenfels. The Heinbach stream flows through the pond and is home to freshwater pearl mussels, which are threatened with extinction throughout Europe.

January 8, 2023,Etappe 02: Durch das Land der 1.000 Teiche von Friedenfels nach Falkenberg – Goldsteig
The second leads through wonderful landscape. The section through the land of a thousand ponds is particularly worth seeing. It is better to plan a little more time for this in order to be able to extensively visit the ponds and the animals there.

Shortly after leaving Friedenfels, you come across the 350-year-old beech tree. An impressive colossus of a tree. The route then goes through the forest to the Haferdeckfelsen. In my opinion, the easier path to the right is not …

Tip: how we briefly leave the Goldsteig and make a detour to the Kippsee. Wonderful bathing pond with lawn and kiosk.
Tip two: holiday apartment with Mrs. Bauer in Falkenberg. And Zoigl beer at Kramer Zoigl.
