Impressive rock massif! Distant views from the edge of the rock.

It's amazing how many graduation towers there are - the perfect place to take a deep breath. One should take the time for a long walk or a long break. A short detour to the old town of Bad Kreuznach should not be missed, including the bridge houses.
