On the Würgauer Berg you can look at and enjoy beautiful sinter steps. Definitely recommended.

The “Kalksinterbach with accompanying trees east of Würgau” has been anchored as a protected part of the landscape in the Bavarian Nature Conservation Act since November 1997. Sinter steps, also known as sinter terraces, are deposits of porous limestone tuff or densely layered limestone sinter in a stream or flowing body of water and, in contrast to stalactites, form relatively quickly. Small deposits initially form on branches, stones and twigs that have fallen into the water and then, over time, larger and larger barriers form in the stream. Over time, these barriers develop into smaller basins, which mark themselves as sinter steps and accumulate the water in a cascade manner.
