    Hiking

    The rocks and stone columns that you can discover between the trees in the Alteburgkopf geotope are of volcanic origin. The geotope is considered a natural monument.

    In the middle of the forest on a hill suddenly meter-high rock walls made of basalt!

    They are the remains of an old volcanic chimney called "Alteburgskopf".

    Traces of a ring wall and the artificially flattened dome suggest that there was also a fortification here in the Celtic era. Source and information:

    Hiking

    Below the geotope is a sequoia that should be viewed.
