Known in English as the 'Sea of Rocks', Felsenmeer is a unique geological formation that was created approximately 340 million years ago. As you might guess from the name, it's a hill covered with hundreds of giant round boulders that make for a challenging, exciting hike. Visitors are welcome to clamber around on the rocks on their own, and there are also special guided tours during the winter. No admission fee is charged, but there is a small parking fee. The area is open year-round, and there's an on-site Visitor's Center that's open between March and October.
