Hiking

A piece of Austrian geological history!
A very interesting place that explains with many display boards how much the landscape changes over time.

MÄXI´S GENUSSTOUREN 🇦🇹

September 3, 2020

Hiking

Quarry workers uncovered a crevice in the last century that shows us the penetration of glowing molten rock in the late phase of volcanic history. Since such structures are extremely rare to find, but impressively illustrate the history of volcanic formation, this locality was placed under protection as a natural monument with the name of Tieschen basalt column.
