Image in Mandl 2011: Abb. 136 (photo of the rock wall with marking of inscribed areas (Bildstellen)).

Referred to as "Station 1" by Mandl. The rock is a large limestone lintel block with inscriptions on the overhanging north-west face (Raetic and younger) and the less inclined north-east face (none Raetic). The north-west face provides some protection from wind and rain. The entire slope is marshy and wet; Mandl (p. 127) mentions a spring on the south side of the block.

Bildstelle 1: AK-1.1–AK-1.3
Bildstelle 2: AK-1.4–AK-1.5
Bildstelle 3: AK-1.21, AK-1.6–AK-1.8
(Between areas 3 and 4, an area partly covered in moss, potentially containing up to four illegible inscriptions, if inscribed continuously with only frame lines separating them.)
Bildstelle 4: AK-1.9–AK-1.15
Bildstelle 5: AK-1.16–AK-1.20
