Hiking
Crescent-shaped dune blown up by westerly winds from sand from the Rhine glacial valley, which was largely dry during the Ice Age winter. Despite its shape, it is not a crescent dune, but a so-called parabolic dune, the crescent ends of which are not in the direction of the wind, but opposite to the direction of the wind, because the middle part advances faster. The path leads up the steep eastern flank. Currently very overgrown with blackberries.
