Great place to take a rest. The rocks glow bright red when the sun hits them.

You can take a nice rest under an overhanging rock, now that there is a nice seating area here. Many thanks to Ralf Müller (city council member of Pirmasens) for this donation! On the left side of the Luitpold rock there is an old (and apparently well-maintained) inscription: "21.3.1921 - FM.LH - E. Schwartz - L. Schwartz - 1924". (Unfortunately, the Pirmasens city archives were unable to solve the mystery of the Schwartz brothers' dates either.)

Is a premium hiking trail, not easy but 10 experience points, but could be better maintained in some places so that you can hike more carefree. The views are very impressive. The path offers many opportunities to relax and you are almost only in the forest, which is a huge advantage in summer. Is a very good destination

It is smaller than the upper bear cave. But the shower is an absolute eye-catcher.

People up to 1.80 m tall should be able to walk through upright 🙂. There is a relaxation lounger directly above the Felsentor and a little further below there is an information board about red sandstone.
