Awesome rock formation with a cave and climbing feeling. Through narrow and sometimes steep rocky passages you reach the viewing platform with a cool view of the valley. Being sure-footed and free from vertigo are good prerequisites for reaching your destination. A real highlight on the hike through the Müllerthal.
