Hohe Nase Climbing Wall

Impressive rock wall about 35m high with a projection that looks like a nose. The Geisskirche or Hohe Nase is a popular climbing rock.

Hollenberg Mountain Station

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice, small snack bar with good snacks, there is also a vending machine for drinks. However, only open on weekends and with a limited number of seats, arriving early ensures the best seats.

Hollenberg Castle Ruins and Viewpoint

Highlight • Castle

Even if the ascent, pushing and carrying the bike is really difficult, it is worth the effort to get to the Hollenberg castle ruins. From here you have a fascinating view. Unfortunately, the information boards are installed about 100m below.
