Swedish Fortification

Wooden Sculptures Along the Trail

Here an unknown artist has created something beautiful for the passing hikers. You have to be a bit careful to notice the small wooden works of art.

Teufelsfelsen (Großer Stein)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice climbing rock, unfortunately there is no bench. The Teufelsfelsen is a geotope: it shows limonite slabs and tafoni weathering.
