The Ochsenstall Rock offers an exhilarating mountain biking experience with its rugged terrain and steep slopes. The highlight of your ride is the Ochsenstall Cave, an intriguing little cavern located beneath the rock formations. This cave, carved out by natural forces, offers a moment of exploration and a unique view of the surrounding landscape. It is the perfect place to take a break.

The shelter was probably also used as an ox stable. There is a covered bench there.

Beautiful sandstone formation. There are more or less 3 large rooms that offer protection from rain. in the middle there is a bench. One of the rooms leads deep enough into the rock that it cannot be seen from the outside.

The name of the Ochsenstall rock, which means ox stable, is a riddle because none of the cavities are large enough to house oxen. According to oral tradition, this place would have served as a place of rest and shelter for herdsmen who led the animals to pastures or for pig breeders, while the animals feasted on acorns.

A great rock that offers a relatively dry resting place with a nice view when it rains.
