    Hiking

    Very beautiful rock formations above the village of Abenden in the Rurtal valley. The rust-red rock bastions along the valley slopes dominate the landscape in the Rurtal valley. But how did these impressive rock faces and towers come into being?
    The starting material for the rocks are pebbles and sands, which were formed by weathering in a hot, desert-like landscape in the early Mesozoic era during the Triassic period, specifically in the "Buntsandstein" formation.
