The high rock path
Length 12 km - walking time approx. 3 3/4 hours.
The path runs mainly in the forest and leads to several stone formations that probably date from the Bronze Age / Stone Age. Certain astronomical processes around the moon play a special role here. The stone avenue of the Meisenberg, various menhirs and the mysterious Hochfels are the most important stops. They are complemented by old paved paths of various designs. The replica of a cannon jump from the era of the Revolutionary Wars is reminiscent of the battles at Frohnerhof in 1794. At the end there is a wonderful view of the Donnersberg, where one of the largest Celtic towns was located over 2000 years ago.
