The rock is located approximately 500 meters southeast of the southern summit, on the French side of the Schlossberg with the Hohenburg Castle. The mountain is located directly on the German-French border in the Wasgau mountain range, the French part of which is known there as the Northern Vosges. A mountain ridge runs from the southern summit over the Löwenstein to the rock.

Ideal for cooling off on hot days. But unfortunately, it's not drinking water.

A nice spot for a rest. After rain, the meadow on the north side is often full of large puddles, so walking barefoot is the only option.
