Hirschsprung Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The striking porphyry granite lies directly in the sharp bend that makes the Eger at the junction to Silberbach to the west. Legend has it that a hunter around 1670 observed a battle scene on the granite rock between a deer and a wolf. The deer threw the wolf into the Eger and then left the steeply rising rock with a big jump.

The power station was built in 1921 by the Munich engineer dr. Eugen Sapper built. The water of the Eger is derived three kilometers above the work at Leupoldshammer, flows into a channel and then crashes in two iron pipes 30 meters down to four turbines.
