Along the hiking trails you can often see small and larger rocks protruding from the forest floor

Hiking
The south side of the Gangolfsberg is known for the Teufelskeller and basalt prism wall geotopes, but there are also extensive large scree heaps / block heaps nearby, where an advanced form of weathering can be explored. At the same time, the rock is heavily covered with moss, which, depending on the incidence of light, brings about interesting green color plays.

Again and again one encounters the relics of the volcanic past of the Rhön.
