The Langert rock is easily accessible via an iron ladder. The reward: panoramic views towards the slate mountains and the surrounding area.

Needle Eye Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

According to legend, if you crawl through the stone once, your wish will come true, provided you keep it to yourself.
So it's definitely worth it for everyone. You can read the entire legend on the plaque, including a special episode about the former carters. But to read it in full, you have to make the journey here.

Schröderfelsen Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The rest area with a view of Gießübel is by far a highlight. Very well maintained, very comfortable and the view is fantastic.
