The stone channel at Düsselbach - a rare geological phenomenon. In the karst areas of the Franconian Jura you can sometimes find these small streams. The strongly calcareous water forms these channels by the limescale depositing at the edges; normally a stream cuts into the terrain, here it is the other way round and the limestone deposits build a dam. The small stream flows on the crown. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Steinernen_Rinnen_in_Bayern
The stone channel is about 100m long and runs very steeply in the upper part.
The gutter is partially damaged but still worth seeing, the climb is humane.

The stone channel is less than a 2 minute walk from the main road. Simply super nice to look at .. Because of nature conservation not accessible, but you can see everything well .. I read somewhere that the channel is not intact, so I don't know it's actually not nicer.
