The gorge is surrounded by the reed sand quarry with its bizarre rocks.

These reed sandstones were installed at the Cologne Cathedral or at the entrance to the Wilhelma in Stuttgart.

Beautiful here. This is a place I keep coming back to.
Behind the quarry there is also a cozy barbecue area with a swivel grill.

The quarry is officially called "Aufgelassener quarry am Märchensee, Wendelsheim" and is a "geotope". The lake is one of the rare spawning grounds of midwife toads.

The stones for the old entrance area of Stuttgart's Wilhelma originate from this quarry.

It is not a huge area, but small and fine. The boulders with their many layers are very impressive.
