The donkey and the sea

The development of the donkey began with the deposition of sediments on the bottom of a sea. Sand and clay were deposited on the ocean floor for millions of years. The weight of the sediments solidified the underlying material. Over time this led to rock formation. The rock layers were folded and tilted through subsequent mountain formation processes. Through physical and chemical processes, the rocks weathered over millions of years. Soft material was removed first, while more stable rock remained longer. The ears of the little Murscher donkey were made of this permanent slate, which gave the rock its distinctive shape. In addition to natural weathering, humans also played a role. When grenade ammunition was detonated, the protruding rocks broke off. Source: Text information board

Benches have been on this route again and again, sometimes very nicely hidden or dangerously high on a rock. It pays off to look out into the country from these places.

On the highest point of the slate rock "donkeys" stands a red bank. The "Eselsche" is connected to the Baybachtal via a steep but beautiful mountain path with many views.
