Rockenstein Summit with Cross

Highlight • Summit

From the Rockenstein you have a great view of the surroundings (Kreuzberg, Arnsberg). Sometimes a fence is built because of the animals grazing there. However, the goats usually run freely without fencing.

Hohe Hölle Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great refuge for a rest. The "Hohe Hölle" stop was set up here as a small gag. Great idea! 👍🏻

The mostly unwooded hilltop with a gently sloping slope offers a wide view. Ascents from several directions as well as interesting circular routes are possible.
