description

The Zindenauer Schlösschen is a mighty group of rocks reminiscent of a castle. It was already listed as a natural monument before 1932 and is today protected by ordinance of May 27, 1959 as a geological natural monument "Granite rock with an oak, called Zindenauer Schlösschen". Geologically, the rocks belong to the Flasergranitoidzone . On the ridge in the middle of the forest, some striking oaks and red beeches grow . The age of the oak named in the Protection Ordinance is estimated to be around 200 years.

tourism

A hiking path leads from a refuge on the ridge to the rock group on the Steinkopf. Decades ago it was largely unforested and offered a good view; today it is in dense high forest. The 11th BioTopTour of the Darmstadt-Dieburg district passes below the natural monument. The cliffs, which are up to seven meters high, are also used as climbing rocks.

  • Flaser granitoid rock castle "Zindenauer Schlösschen"
