Colorful agates and wonderful drusen with goethite or zeolites - with these words the heart of every mineral collector starts to beat faster. In the Freisener area, the widespread occurrence of these gemstones is a precious legacy of the earth's history. Follow their tracks on the Achatweg Freisen and learn a lot about its origins and mining history. You will discover even more geological highlights at the ten table stations. You will learn a lot about the Hellerberg and its Permian volcanic rock, which formed long before the Eifel volcanoes erupted. You explore two former quarries and come across a huge rock ball with a peculiar shell structure. Enjoy a varied themed hike with fascinating insights and views on the traces of gemstones and the history of the earth. Source: Text information board
