A beautiful place to linger. Especially on the second weekend in July each year, when the Rothstein Rock Festival is held at the foot of the rock. It's probably the largest folk festival in the area. A great place to celebrate.

Unfortunately, you can't walk all the way around it, as there is no way to go any further on the other side of the lake (from Frankenberg/Elster). But you can still see a lot of the beautiful lake.

Small but nice climbing rock. There are some good secured pleasure routes on the east side. Slab and crack climbing is particularly popular here.
