The robber rock is very impressive due to its size. It can also be climbed all around. Incidentally, the granite rock got its name from a legend: Once upon a time, robbery rabble were said to have been up to mischief there.

From the plate you reach a path to the castle ruin Weissenstein. The descent is demanding and full of technical passages. But if you come there, you can enjoy a wonderful view on the castle ruins.

The 650m long route with difficulty level S2 is quite challenging. The trail is partly blocked with beautiful drops and is nice to ride; the trail is well integrated into the terrain and runs from the Platte to the Steinwaldpilz.
