    Hiking

    There are only a few traces left that suggest a castle complex. The gypsy rock could have been an outpost of Wasigenstein Castle. In the 18th century, the rock probably served as a shelter for a band of gypsies. Climbing is a bit tricky over a steep ladder and a "slip through" - sure-footedness is essential in any case!

    Possibly the Gypsy Rock was a lookout post.
    Climbing is a bit tricky for tall people due to the steep ladder and the "slip-through" - but sure-footedness is necessary in every case!

    Hiking

    Sure-footed people with a head for heights cope with the somewhat adventurous stairs to the top and are rewarded with a grandiose foresight over the Wasgau.
