Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

March 24, 2019

Mountain biking

The porphyritic granite on the Wartberg is penetrated by several basaltic passages, some of which are seepage. The walls of two former quarries form profile-like outcrops, where the sharp contact of the dark basalt can be observed to the bright granite. The situation characterizes conveyors deep below a former volcano, which may have been completely eroded by the erosion.
