Hiking

The Hochfels consists of two vertical plates in which another stone is wedged. This has the shape of a menhir with striking notches at the ends. This stone was probably originally located on the other two and formed a structure in the Stone Age. The rock is part of the “Hochfelsweg” time-sign trail.

Provides room for theories about the importance of the rock for the Celts.
