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, also called Johannisfelsen in Usterling is a natural monument.
He belongs to the group of stone gutters.

All worth a visit!

Definitely worth seeing and not for nothing one of the 100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria and a station for Bavaria explorers. The "Growing Rock" from Usterling is almost 40 m long and 5 m high and is the largest stone channel in Germany.
