Hiking

An extraordinary rock with a special history. It takes millions of years and a lot of tectonic pressure to create this folded rock from an ocean floor.

The "Plackensteiner Kuh", a rock formation, is only a few hundred meters further along the path that leads past the quarry. According to legend, "the cow" turns on its own axis when it hears the noon bells. Unfortunately, the sound of the church bells does not get there.

One of the two rock formations called Plackenstein or Plackensteiner Kuh. Created by quartzite folding as described on an information board in the forest. The cow refers to an old legend.
