The rock arch is an impressive "natural structure" north of the forest inn Beckenhof, right on the red/yellow hiking trail.
The rock arch gives the impression of an archway. The round opening through the narrow rock ledge is 1.80m high. This allows for a passage through the rock mass.

Access route: Premium trail "Felsenwald"

The rock gate is an impressive "natural structure". A rock formation made of sandstone, a natural rock opening with an opening height of about 1.80 meters. It is located not far from the Beckenhof Forest House and gives the impression of an archway, north of the Beckenhof Forest Inn. It is directly along the Premium Trail Felsenwald. Follow the signposted Premium Trail from the Beckenhof location to the rock gate.
