    The "sinter terraces" are located near Gutenberg (a district of Lenningen) in the Esslingen district of Baden-Württemberg.

    - a "natural monument" that deserves protection!

    - numerous sinter terraces and basins have formed on the gradient steps of the "Weiße Lauter"
    - - see also: geopark-alb.de/de/Sinterterrassen/Sintertreppe-Wei%C3%9Fe-Lauter
    - Sinter steps or sinter terraces are deposits of porous calcareous tufa in a flowing body of water
    - the area around the sinter terraces is a valuable habitat for many animals and plants!
    - The travertine terraces are not accessible, as the delicate structures are destroyed upon entry and must regenerate over a long period of time.


    - In 2020, the entrances were closed teckbote.de/nachrichten/lokalnachrichten-lenninger-tal_artikel,-badende-zerstoeren-ein-paradies-_arid,253010.html

        The sintered terraces have a lot of water at the moment, which makes them look very impressive.
