Hiking

Pretty impressive boulder. I myself would not have come to the shape of a horse by itself. But maybe I lack the imagination for that. The rock was mentioned in documents more than 1,000 years ago. There is also speculation that it could be a Celtic place of worship.

Hiking

An old border marker (since 805 AD). More details are available on the information board there. It is also located on a beautiful section of the Burgensteig - an unpaved forest path.
With a bench.

An imposing stone in the shape of a lying horse. You have to look at it at the right angle to see the lying horse. It is worth reading the board.
