4 stones rise above the valley!
Four huge volcanic rocks stand out from afar in the rolling landscape of the Sauerland. The rock formation in the Rothaargebirge rises in front of the small half-timbered village of Bruchhausen. The Bornstein is the highest of the four rocks at 92 m high. It is followed by the Ravenstein with a rock height of 72 m. The Goldstein, which shines due to quartz deposits, rises to 60 m and the Feldstein, which is the highest in the formation, reaches a height of 45 m.

Hiking
The four mighty, up to 90 m high porphyry boulders of the Bruchhauser Steine were exposed from the surrounding clay and sandstone over millions of years and are now a widely visible landmark of the Sauerland region. They are considered the oldest evidence of submarine volcanic eruptions from the prehistoric Sauerland low mountain range.
