    Hiking

    The famous Felsengühen (rock glow) at the Altschlossfelsen (Old Castle Rocks) can be admired here in April, about an hour before sunset. Provided the sun is shining from a cloudless sky.

    The rock glow is actually only found on one specific rock (the fourth rock from the east, next to the Otto Tower).

    The best time in spring depends on the position of the sun and is from the second decade of April to the first decade of May (if vegetation sprouts late), starting at approximately 7 p.m. CEST.

    The weather just has to be right.
