The Hochstein remains one of the most impressive rock formations in the Palatinate, especially since it is less obscured by forest than others. From the top, there is a fantastic view (for climbers).

Komoot seems to have thrown together a few highlights. It's best to withdraw your photos. Mine was originally titled "View of the Jungfernsprung."

Ms. Fath is, of course, right: That's the Jungfernsprung in Dahn! Lug, and thus also the Luger Geiersteine, are 29 km away from the Jungfernsprung by car, 13 km by bike, and 11.5 km on foot, and are also located in a different municipality.

In Dahn, it's impossible to see the Luger Geiersteine! It must be called Jungfernsprung.
