Krokodil Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

A crocodile with imagination. Crazy how the tree sought its direction of growth.

Very beautiful bizarre rock formation with a large archway, a through cave. The through caves are probably one of the most beautiful of their kind in Franconian Switzerland. On the rock formations there is a lookout point and a small refuge.

It was just beautiful. 😎
Beautiful forest paths, some narrow. Sometimes strenuous climbs, but then with the best view. 🥾
Rock formations, the Franconian makes the heart ♥️ beat faster. ⛰️

The region around the Lange Berg, the longest and most diverse rock formation in Franconian Switzerland, offers many other, often hidden, natural treasures besides the Jura Elephant: Nowhere else are there as many evenly shaped rock tunnels as here.
A beautiful, varied tour on partially forgotten paths. A real challenge with our barefoot shoes 🤣

Hiking trip by the Schnaittach Ski Club. A tour from Forgotten Paths. Starting from the hiking car park at the Münchser Wand, we went up to the lookout point. Then on to the Stierberg castle ruins, of which you can mainly see the tower. The Wetterstein hides a mighty climbing wall and the Geißkirche church near Leupoldstein has two passages. …

A nice up and down...great hike. It's just a shame that there are so many trees and branches lying around.

Oops... 600 meters of altitude and didn't even notice... this round was so entertainingly wandered... what a shame, it could have been a bit longer! There was something for everyone and it was never really sweaty... I would recommend it immediately

The sea of rocks around Obertrubach can hardly be described in pictures. You have to hike and experience it 😍

Today we were in Franconian Switzerland, a little off the beaten track. The tour leads us partly on unmarked paths or even goes pathless to the highlights.
