The Hirtenfels is a rock on the Donnersberg and serves as a viewpoint.

At Hirtenfels on the Donnersberg, visitors can overlook the expanse of gentle hills, green forests, and small villages. A bench invites you to take a rest.

The viewpoint is best reached by hiking from Ludwigsturm to Adlerbogen, where another fantastic view awaits you. You can find a possible hiking route here.
