The whole area is truly worth seeing. Be careful at the corner: if someone walks or drives around quickly, you'll end up in an awkward collision.

The path is not long, but it is all the more impressive. You should definitely walk around and over the top...or ride a bike.

The Warstein is a real knockout. The stone is 700 meters long, 80 meters wide and 50 meters high in the landscape and protrudes into the lake. You can cycle around it or take a break and climb up briefly. At the top you will find the Warstein Chapel on the west side or you can enjoy the view of the lake all the way to the northern Limestone Alps from the Steinspitz.
