The south side of the Gangolfsberg is known for the geotopes Teufelskeller and basalt prism wall, but there are also extensive large rubble heaps / block heaps, where an advanced form of weathering can be explored. The rock is also heavily mossed, which, depending on the incidence of light, brings with it an interesting play of green colors.
