Falkenstein, Rock formation in Schmalwassergrund, Germany.
The Falkenstein formation rises 96 meters on its valley side and features steep walls composed of porphyry, rhyolite, and andesite materials.
Jacob Zimmermann, a local glassmaker from Tambach, completed the first documented climb of the Falkenstein rock formation in 1852.
The rock formation stands as the most substantial climbing destination in Thuringian Forest, offering over 100 routes for mountaineering enthusiasts.
Access to Falkenstein requires a 10-kilometer journey from Tambach-Dietharz along a restricted road, suitable for cyclists and pedestrians.
The mountain rescue hut at the base of Falkenstein serves as a reference point while the formation maintains different heights on valley and mountain sides.
