Wackelstein Trail - Hiking Trail No. 84 - Shaking a massive rock with sheer muscle power – this is the experience offered by the Wackelstein Trail, which leads from Entschenreuth into the forest and also to the Little Stone Church. Distance: approx. 4 km Elevation gain: 450 - 610 m Start: Entschenreuth district Marking: No. 84, white number in a red circle on a white background Duration: approx. 1.5 to 2 hours Accessible: no Surface: forest roads, forest paths Difficulty: medium The circular hiking trail begins in the Entschenreuth district at the end of the municipal road "Zum Wackelstein," where parking is also available. It then leads along a field path to the edge of the forest. From there, the hike can either go directly to the Wackelstein and continue to the Little Stone Church, or vice versa. From here on, it's a circular hiking trail. The trail initially follows the "Wackelstein" (Wackelstein) destination. Wooden arrows point the way, which becomes a true trail through the forest, with some steep ascents. A natural monument, the Wackelstein, forms the highest point of the circular hiking trail at over 600 meters. Several rocks are located on a broad knoll, one of which is particularly striking. A large block with edges measuring approximately three to four meters, a flat top and a curved bottom, rests on an almost flat slab of rock. Despite its enormous weight of approximately 50 tons, a single strong person can easily make it rock if they find the right spot on the rock. From the Wackelstein, the trail continues, initially backing off for a bit. A wooden signpost soon points the way further through the forest in a different direction, then back down again. The walk to the Little Stone Church is partly quite leisurely, but at times also almost adventurous, through the forest into the valley. A cluster of large boulders on the left side of the path finally forms the "Little Stone Church." After the Little Stone Church, it's not far to the starting point. The trail descends again along field and forest paths, finally returning to the starting point in Entschenreuth. Refreshment options: Gasthaus Klessinger, Hundsruck, Hauptstraße 31, Closed: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Tel. +49 8504 8239 https://www.saldenburg.de/seite/417597/wackelstein-steig.html
