Yesterday we were out again in the beautiful area around Hauenstein. Two weeks ago, our hike led us to the Hühnerstein. From there, our gaze fell on an impressive rock formation on the opposite side, which we hadn't known until then. After some research, it was clear: it is the Nedingfelsen.

We chose one of the local "walking trails" and the Panoramaweg, and to make sure we really got the panorama, we took the Nedingfelsen (from the Schusterpfad).

There should also be three knight stones, but the stairs to the summit of the Backelstein are closed, the wooden steps have been removed. They were probably rotten. So this stone was not accessible. The ladder to the Lanzenharter Felsen is also closed, maybe because of Corona. Nevertheless, a …
