The Junfernley is easy to find. From Schönecken, turn onto the main path at the car park to Schönecker Schweiz, towards Rommersheim. After about 1 km, you reach the Jungfernley, which is on the right in the "Reinsbusch", and the Schalkenbach on the left. The Jungfernley is a legendary, mighty dolomite formation. According to legend, the stone is the remains of a maiden who was turned to stone at this point due to malice. Other rumors persist that in earlier times, midwives pulled newborn children out of a crack in the rock at the Jungfernley. Source: https://www.schoenecken.com/HTML/jungfernley.htm
