Hiking
The rock massif at the "Hoher Stein" is a unique and bizarre-looking rock formation and is reminiscent of the bow of a ship from prehistoric times and is therefore popularly known as Noah's Ark.

Hiking
The summit cliffs, composed of Saldenburg granite, exhibit pronounced spheroidal and mattress weathering. Several block flows lie at the foot of the rocky outcrop. Cliffs and block flows are the result of erosion, particularly by soil creep and weathering in the periglacial zone (permafrost region) of past ice ages. They are typical of higher elevations in the low mountain ranges between glacial zones. Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU).
