    Hiking

    There is a rock overhang here, on which many Stone Age tools (hand axes, scrapers, wedge knives, etc.) have been found.
    This abri was discovered in 1928 by Hermann Mohn. The tools found date from around 80,000-40,000 BC. and are on display in the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart.
    Animal bones were also found alongside the tools, including mammoth, reindeer, lemming, rhino, wolf and ruff.
