The pebble rock is not as attractive as the other rocks on the tour. But it is one of the great rock formations.

The Langenbach rock is impossible to miss and very impressive. Another beautiful rock formation and a prelude to the other rock formations to come🤩

Next to the gently babbling fountain in a beautiful garden area within the Strecktalpark, there is also a drinking water tap and, of course, some benches.
