Hollow Rock (Eppenbrunn)

Highlight • Cave

Very beautiful rock with a cave and a bench at the base of the rock. From the upper side of the slope a path leads to the rock, where there is a beautiful view. Very nice photo motif.

A great location with a nice new bench set.
If the weather permits, even with a waterfall directly from the rock above your head :-)

A great rock for a longer break. I personally really like the long vines hanging down.

On the Devil's Path Tour, after the impressive Teufelsfels and Hühnerfels, you come to the Haspelfels with an original bench.

A kind of large half-cave with a rest area on the side. When we visited, water was dripping from above into the middle. Beautiful.
