Hiking

The Heiligenstein is a group of limestone and dolomite rocks southeast of Gerolstein. The crevices and pear-shaped cavities near the rocks are typical of a karst landscape. The cavities were able to form because components of the rock were dissolved by water and environmental influences.

Great sight, very nice to look at in any season. For me, however, they are at their most beautiful in late spring when the trees are in their fresh green dress.
