Weissingkuppe Rock Labyrinth

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very nice hike over the meandering path. After the stairs go up the rock right side. It is a so-called mushroom rock: The heavy boulder sits on a base of small circumference. Fascinating.

Mystery Grotto

Highlight • Cave

In winter, beautiful ice formations can be admired here, also inside. The strange name of the cave can be traced back to a legend. There is an information board in front of the entrance.
