Field of Stone Cairns

Highlight • Structure

I think it's a nice spot and looks very funny. And if some complainers question this: these stone men are supposed to protect hikers from the evil trolls. So all in all a good thing!

A short loop to the famous red sandstone rock formation – certainly THE attraction and landmark of the Hauenstein holiday region in the Dahner Felsenland. The return to the start/finish near the Hinterweidenthal train station follows wide forest paths.

A classic hike today: the Devil's Table 😈

With my dear friend @Estelle Höfle and family. A really lovely route, also great for kids, and we were rewarded with loads of sunshine 😊

It was absolutely wonderful 😁

Have a great weekend everyone!
