    Hiking

    The ten-meter-high rock formation is made of rock that originated from a volcano on the sea floor in the earliest history of the earth, but today it stands high up in the Taunus Mountains. If you want to think about it for a moment, the seating area will help.

    The Hauburgstein is a striking rock formation of black, crystalline bedrock with partially overhanging sections, sharp edges, and fissures. It is 10 meters high and 6 meters wide.

    Historically, it was also known as Habernstein or Hühnerstein. The etymology of the name is unclear. It could refer to the Hünerberg (Chicken Hill), but a derivation from Hauberg is also conceivable. Hauberg referred to a coppice of oak trees, which was cut down every 20 years to obtain bark for tanning and firewood.
