Dost, Nature reserve in Floß, Germany
The Dost nature reserve contains granite blocks ranging from 50 centimeters to 5 meters in diameter along the Girnitz stream bed.
The protected area, established in 1937, spans 10 hectares and features rock formations shaped by weathering and glacial processes over time.
The rock formations within the reserve include a notable feature called Teufelsbutterfass, which holds significance in regional folklore and legends.
Several marked hiking trails make the area accessible, with the main route starting from the marketplace in Floß and leading through Boxdorf.
The Girnitz stream disappears beneath massive granite blocks at various points throughout the reserve, creating natural geological formations.
