This bizarrely shaped rock was formed by the calcareous water of the small spring stream that flows through here. The "Growing Rock", also known as the "Johannisfelsen", is around 50 meters long and three meters high and is one of the most important geotopes in Germany. You can get here via a short walking path - the detour is worth it. You can look at the rock at any time for free.

The "Growing Rock" from Usterling is almost 40 m long and 5 m high, the largest stone channel in Germany.

The growing rock is an absolute must when you are on the Isar between Mamming and Landau. An impressive natural wonder!
