Hochsteinmassiv im Dahner Felsenland - Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany - Established Rock Climbing Areas on Waymarking.com

The Hochstein (345 m) is one of the many sandstone formations that are typical of the Wasgau, which is formed from the southern part of the Palatinate Forest and the northern part of the Vosges. Because the area of Dahn is particularly rich in such structures, it is also called Dahner Felsenland. The Hochstein is - as with the other rocks of the region - to harder rock, which has partially resisted erosion. The entire massif runs like a dissected rock group to 1.5 km in length east of Dahn on the Wieslauter out.
Particularly striking is the high stone needle, with the start of the massif in the west at the St. Michael's Chapel. It follows the rock tower and the actual Hochsteingrat. From here on foothills are continuing in a north-easterly and southerly direction from which protrudes the Haferfels.
