About 230 - 220 million years ago, what is now the southern Eifel lay on the edge of a large sea. Under tropical, desert-like conditions, river materials and dune sands transported and accumulated by trade winds were deposited in this area. These deposits were solidified over the course of millions of years to form the red sandstone that is still present today.
