    Tips

    The pile is made of quartz, which settled as hydrothermal gangrene about 275 million years ago in the already existing fracture structure. The stake as a disturbance was probably active several times. Since the pile rock is harder than the surrounding rock, it was prepared in a wall like erosion. The pile today forms a 150 km long and 10 to 40 m high Härtlingzug. The white shimmering pile quartz consists of up to 98% of silica, yellowish to reddish or gray colors are caused by iron compounds and impurities ("pile shale"). The interpretation of the actual pile disorder as a suture is controversial, but it is considered certain that it separates different magmatic rocks
