    Hiking

    Millstones were made from solidified basalt columns. The Eifel basalt was ideal for millstones because of the sharp little edges that had resulted from the trapped air bubbles when the lava flow poured out of the Bellerberg and the basalt rock trapped small air bubbles as it solidified.

    Hiking

    The Mühldtein isn't on the Dream Trail. You have to take a small detour. Unfortunately, the small information board has been destroyed.
