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 ancient border marker (since 805 AD). On the explanation board there is more precise. Also located on a beautiful part of the Burgensteig - an unpaved forest path.
With 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.
