Imposing rock formations rising out of the forest with summit cross. Some parts are easy to climb in dry weather, while others require climbing equipment. In wet weather very slippery (also the ways)!

Certainly lovely to sit here in the sun on a sunny winter or late autumn day. Not in the height of summer.

We parked in the forest on the outskirts of Kirn (near a retirement home). From there we went on beautiful forest paths to Oberhausen and from there in the direction of the Kirner Dolomites. They are imposing rocks in the middle of the forest. From there it's always downhill to Kirn. Then there is a steady increase. The path along …

The tour was nice despite the initial rain. Although the wide view was missing, but you can repeat the tour in the sunshine😉🦮Tinca had a lot of fun walking around between the rocks. However, care should be taken in wet weather as it can be very slippery.
