There you walk along the border path up to the "Drei Wappen" (902 m, Unterstellhütte). The coats of arms of the Electorate of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Duchy of Palatinate with the year 1766 are carved into the rocks there from the left. Continue via the Kreuzfelsen (938 m, highest point in the Gibacht massif, summit cross) to the Berggasthof Gibacht (refreshments available, glass gallery), the Reiseck (902 m, glass summit cross) and the Dachsriegel.
