Tips
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.Source and more information
