The Plisterstein is the remnant of a larger volcanic cone that was created 30 to 10 million years ago. The liquid rock from the Earth's interior, the magma, pushed itself up through the earth's crust. It filled the vent, cooled, and finally froze.

Northeast of the village of Kothen we hike out of the forest and reach the Pilster, a steep phonolite rock. The Sauerborn rises at the foot of the rock with drinking water containing a lot of iron.
