Highlight • Natural Monument

Very nice hike over the meandering path. After the stairs go up the rock right side. It is a so-called mushroom rock: The heavy boulder sits on a base of small circumference. Fascinating.

One of the most beautiful hiking areas far and wide (...and we have a lot of them).
