Bleistein Rock Gate

Highlight • Natural Monument

This passage through the rock is not as easy to find as the other one in the lead stone. Boulders are trapped in the crevice, under which you have to duck. A secret passage - only for the initiated ;-)

Beautiful hike, also suitable in summer temperatures. We left the route a bit, which then required some surefootedness. The view from the Leienfels ruins is worth the climb.
