Jungfernsprung, Rock formation in Dahn, Germany
The Jungfernsprung rises 70 meters above ground level, forming a massive sandstone rock structure in the center of the Palatinate Forest Nature Park.
During medieval times, this natural monument served as a strategic observation point for monitoring activities around the castles of Alt-Dahn, Grafendahn, and Tanstein.
Local tales mention a spring at the base of the rock where, according to regional stories, a maiden landed after jumping from the summit.
The rock formation connects to two major hiking paths, the Felsenland Sagenweg and Dahner Rundwanderweg, offering various route options for different experience levels.
From the summit cross at 280 meters elevation, visitors can observe three separate castle structures and the entire spa town of Dahn below.
