Highlight • Natural Monument

A little off the road, but signposted, is the prayer book. This rock protrudes from the earth like a book lying on its side.

The tour was great hiking and led over the Geiselfelsen, the Kanzelfelsen past two huts (restaurants) to the Felsentor.
Other highlights include the Schillerwand, Luitpold rocks and ice ponds.

The tour can also be done with a dog without any problems and children also have fun.

The name of the hiking trail describes it pretty well. There are lots of rocks to see and it goes through the forest. Overall, the route is very nice and well-trailed. Only now and then do you walk a short stretch on forest paths, some of which have suffered quite a bit from the work of the last few months. …

The weather wasn't great today, but...Angelika and I don't need sun and foresight to be happy. The community, the nature, our good food always make our hike something special.
