Hollow Rock (Eppenbrunn)

Highlight • Cave

Very beautiful rock with a cave and a bench at the base of the rock. From the upper side of the slope a path leads to the rock, where there is a beautiful view. Very nice photo motif.

A great location with a nice new bench set.
If the weather permits, even with a waterfall directly from the rock above your head :-)

Just a short detour from the sand hare tour but worth it. A welcome way to cool off on hot days. It takes some time for the eye to get used to the darkness. Flashlight would be an advantage.

A great rock for a longer break. I personally really like the long vines hanging down.

Be sure to make a detour to the Krappenhöhle cave and walk the circular path through it. The colors of the Bundsandstein rock are fascinating. It reminded me a lot of the play of colors on the Altschlossfelsen rocks.

On the Devil's Path Tour, after the impressive Teufelsfels and Hühnerfels, you come to the Haspelfels with an original bench.

A kind of large half-cave with a rest area on the side. When we visited, water was dripping from above into the middle. Beautiful.

You can easily walk past. So keep your eyes open, otherwise you'll miss this beautiful highlight. Here you can rest, cool down and relax
