The Viewing Chamber (not to be confused with the Dragon's Cave!) is, as the name suggests, open on two sides (southwest and south/northeast) and lies just a few meters below the South Rock. There is NO railing here (except on the stairs). You reach the Viewing Chamber from the South Rock via an entrance at the base of a birch tree (which branches into two trunks) and then via a staircase hewn into the rock, which makes a 90-degree turn and has a metal railing at the bottom. A truly special place! One of the rock faces down here looks like a dragon's face!

The summit area comprises a chain of rocks with an area of 13 hectares, designated as a nature reserve. A distant view to the south is possible at two points (Westfels and Südfels).

A few meters before the southern rock tip there is a narrow passage through which one can walk can descend to the viewing chamber, a cave open on both sides of the rock. Great views and there is also a stone dragon head here. Well who discovers him?

"In 1927, the municipality of Freinsheim decided to build a forester's lodge at the entrance to its approximately 436 hectare forest. At that time, the Bismarksturm on the 480m high Peterskopf had already stood for a quarter of a century. The forester's lodge received its name from the former head forester Lindemann. " Source (quoted verbatim): https://www.stadt-freinsheim.de/freizeit/gehenswuerdigkeiten There is also a bus connection here (line 489) from DÜW train station.

Great destination between Leistadt and Höningen. Small indoor area, large outdoor area with a small schnapps hut .... which invites you to hut evenings in winter, the campfire and the offered grill specialties round off the whole thing. There is a large parking lot on site, usually overcrowded on a good day, so there is usually wild parking. Many well-marked hiking trails around, the Bismarck Tower and TV Tower are the closest. The Monster Lake for people with more fitness.

Gigantic view. And I don't find the many wind turbines disturbing either. At least nicer than KKW's.
