The large rock massif of the Nonnenfelsen (537 m) rises almost 100 meters above the southwestern edge of Jonsdorf. There is also a beautiful via ferrata (Nonnensteig) here.

The Nonnenfelsen are a popular rock formation on a slope in the south-east of the Buchberg. In total, the rocks have a height of 537 meters. This makes them 100 meters higher than the valley of the Pochebach. The most important climbing peaks in Jonsdorf belong to the Nonnenfelsen: Gorge wall, Barbarine and the Nonnenfelsen on the terrace of the associated restaurant.
