Hiking

After the Bockmühle, but before the Weiherfelsen, there are further rock formations and smaller caves, somewhat hidden in the undergrowth.

Hiking

The bizarre shape of the rock and the large cave make this natural monument so special. There's a bench on the sandstone cliff where you can take a break and enjoy the view of the pond landscape.

Hiking

About 30 m in the direction of the Bockmühle from the Weiherfelsen there are other small sandstone caves. Sturdy shoes and closed clothing are recommended as you have to negotiate nettles and brambles to get to the caves.
