    In this former quarry fascinating rhyolite formations can be seen. Rhyolite is a volcanic rock.
    Rhyolite consists predominantly of quartz and feldspar. A rhyolitic magma can form a regular pattern of bleeding upon solidification, creating hexagonal columns, as known from basalt. Source: Wikipedia

        The “Ölberg Wöllstein” nature reserve is approximately 3.8 hectares in size and was designated as such in 1983. The purpose of the protection is to preserve a species-rich dry grassland community as a location for rare plant species and plant communities and as a habitat for the typical and rare animal species associated with it, as well as to preserve the area for scientific reasons.
