Rimdidim Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

A narrow forest path takes you past the Rimdidim rock. There is not much left of the beautiful view mentioned in the traditional saying. But the rocks are still impressive.

March 15, 2025,Burgruine Rodenstein – Blick über die Felder Runde von Fränkisch-Crumbach

This morning, I set off at 7:00 a.m. from the 🛒 Lidl parking lot in Fränkisch-Crumbach and hiked along well-maintained paths 🥾 toward the Rodenstein Castle ruins 🏰. The route led past expansive meadows 🌾 and magnificent views 👀. About 1 km before the castle ruins, there is a hiking parking lot 🅿️ from which you can climb directly.
