On the geopath you can (with a bit of luck) discover traces of the past!

Hiking

At the Heeseberg, the Rogenstein (a rock made of limestone spherules) and the stromatolites (layered bacterial limestone reefs) were given their name by KALKOWSKI (1908). This outcrop became a type locality and still has great international scientific significance today. In 2006, the outcrop was awarded the title "National Geotope". The outcrop at Heeseberg impressively shows the "cauliflower-like" looking stromatolites embedded in the roe stones of the Older Buntsandstein.
