The rock formation is around 100 meters long between the two bounding valleys that pull up to the north in the direction of Kleiner Knüll. Some of the houses lean against the rocks. Some are even built back into the rock. The scenery is particularly beautiful in May when the lilacs are in bloom. Directly on the road there are also two disc crosses carved into the rock, along with a niche for possibly a figure of a saint and grooves. To the west, the rock continues beyond the side valley in another stone formation that forms the southern slope of the Kirchberg. There was a castle there in Ottonian times, the ancestral seat of the Eskones, which was later converted into a monastery (around 1100 AD). The road "Kirchberg" was only cut into the bedrock in the early 19th century.

Jägersteine Rock Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very nice resting and adventure place. Here is a small labyrinth-like group of rocks above the Reintal, which is not only worth a visit with children.

From June 1995 to June 1996, there was an art project here in collaboration between the Lower Saxony State Forestry Administration and the Kassel Art Academy. The exhibits were mostly located in the Klustal valley between the Waldschlösschen and the Jägersteine. On the path up from the Waldschlösschen, there was a seating area with a window frame in front of it bearing the title "Forest Thoughts" and an advertising wall with changing posters. In the clearing in front of the Hurkutstein stood an oversized chair made of spruce trunks in a classic design. There were signposts with the words "Idleness" and "Rhythm," among others. On the plateau above the Jägersteine, long banners hung vertically from cross-stretched ropes in the treetops. There was also an open raised hide in a cheeky zebra print.
This hexagonal sheet metal structure is, to my knowledge, the last of these objects still standing in its original location. It's called "Forest Space" and was designed by Gabriele Schettler, born in 1963 in Blaustein, Alb-Donau district (formerly gabriele-schettler.de). The structure consists of six steel plates forming a hexagon with a diameter of 3.40 m and a height of 2.70 m. I once saw the then head of the forestry office in Reinhausen, Mr. Otto Beck, holding a catalog of the objects and leading a group of people.
