The Nußhardt Stube is a cover cave. It is formed from the huge boulders of the Blockmeer on the summit. The entrance to the interior of the Nußhardt Stube is easy to miss. There are only two places where you can squeeze your way inside between the granite blocks.

The loop around the lake is highly recommended. It's about 2.7 kilometers. The water is very boggy and more brown than blue.

On the summit of the Nußhardt, gneiss and granite rocks lie side by side. Individual mighty rock walls and towers stand in wild beauty. The view is gorgeous.

At a height of 887 m, the White Main rises on the eastern slope of the Ochsenkopf, also known as the "Princely Fountain". Ever since it was bordered in 1827 with the inscription "Weißmainquelle", the spring has been a welcome stop on the Ochsenkopf ascent. Even Goethe is said to have taken a refreshing drop here, which I was denied during my visit today, as it really only "dribbled".
