Seitenstein Rock Formation

The side stone stands within a closed but sparse deciduous forest and does not tower over the treetops, so that it cannot be seen from outside the forest and does not offer a view itself. It has an elongated, round shape with a circumference of around 200 m. The medium gray, rugged basalt rock is easy to climb. The summit is 25 meters above the surrounding, 496 m high terrain. About 25 million years ago, hot magma rose from the earth to the surface and then cooled down too unevenly to give rise to regular columns of basalt. This is how the irregular shapes were created, which from a distance look like a pile of stones, but form a coherent rock and have since been rounded off by weathering processes.

Very nice, we were there in the snow.
