The Königsstein is a former dolomite reef. In the rock there are partially fossil-rich layers of different mussel species.
The dolomite plateau from which the Königsstein grew in the former Zechsteinmeer is 45 meters.

Stamping point for the Karst hiking booklet. I have to honestly say that I have seen nicer stamping points/surroundings.
