 Because the region of Dahn is especially rich in such landforms, it is known as the Dahn Rock Country ("Dahner Felsenland").The Hochstein - like the other rock outcrops of the region - is made of a harder rock that has partly withstood erosion over the centuries.The entire massif runs for 1½ km east of Dahn across the Wieslauter stream and is heavily subdivided.
