It is a 380 million year old seabed. The Bodendenkmal impressively shows what it must have looked like before the dinosaurs in Bergisch.

Hiking

A subtropical seabed that was here millions of years ago. Nice to see what the dried out mud looked like once. Information board available.

Hiking

Devonian - i.e. 360 million year old sea bed (you can still see the ripples and the dry cracks). This layer was exposed through the mining of rocks by the Altenberg monks and has been preserved to this day. Absolutely fascinating
