At 1006.4 m above sea level, the Rainen is the fifth highest mountain in the Swabian Alb. It is located about two kilometers east of Deilingen, in whose area it is also located, and forms a mountain range with the mountains Ortenberg (just below the thousand mark), Montschenloch, Bol and Wandbühl. The Rainen is the northernmost peak of this mountain group and the region of the 10 thousand meters. Unlike Bol and Wandbühl, the Rainen is part of the Albtrauf, so that from the northwest it has a clearly visible steep flank several hundred meters high with scree slopes, which it shares with the Ortenberg. Its elongated summit is covered by a spruce forest, the highest point is marked by a summit marker. The vegetation-free quarry between these two mountains offers a good view of the Upper Schlichem Valley, the Alb foreland and the Plettenberg opposite. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainen

Looks new and stable. To add to the fun, it swings a little at a maximum height of 6m. If you don't dare, the suspension bridge is easy to bypass
