One of the few “wobbly stones” that actually still wobbles is located in the middle of the Sauwald: the Jungfraustein. Legend has it that three maidens carried these two boulders here—the girls must have been Olympic-caliber weightlifters. In any case, it’s a strange feeling to sit on the upper of the two rocks and gently rock back and forth on it. Not far away stand two well-preserved boundary stones that are more than 200 years old. They mark the border between Bavaria and Austria, which has since “migrated” far to the west and today separates only the Inn region from the Hausruckviertel. Not far from there lies the source of the Natternbach.▶ The most beautiful route to the Jungfraustein is the Indian Trail, marked with the number
