Beautiful area, whether for biking or hiking definitely worth a detour and a break.

On the way from the Wasserkuppe to the horse's head you pass these large chunks, which are probably volcanic rocks.

If you hike or drive from the Wasserkuppe to the horse's head, you will pass the Lerchenküppel. This striking basalt formation rises on the southwest slope of the Wasserkuppe.
Two benches invite you to linger. On an information board, geologically interested people will find interesting information about the origin of the lark's cudgel.
You are here in the root area of a volcano. If you take a closer look at the rock cliff, you will see the flat rift arrangement. This indicates that the basalt melt was already outgassed and cooled and must therefore have taken place late.
It is the plug that got stuck in the volcanic root.

The Lerchenküppel is the Hessian geotope of the year 2014

The Hessian State Office for Environment and Geology awarded the rock, which is also known as the "Lark Head", the "Hessian Geotope of the Year" in 2014.
