Field of Stone Cairns

Highlight • Structure

September 7, 2025,Kleine Teufelstisch-Tour ab Hinterweidenthal
A short loop to the famous red sandstone rock formation – certainly THE attraction and landmark of the Hauenstein holiday region in the Dahner Felsenland. The return to the start/finish near the Hinterweidenthal train station follows wide forest paths.
