Hiking

Around 280 million years ago, a hilly relief existed in the Saarschleife region, with valleys up to 100m deep cut into it. This hilly relief is formed in the rocks of Taunus quartzite, a particularly resistant, hard rock that was formed around 350 million years ago during the Variscan mountain formation from around 400 million year old marine deposits by high pressure and heat at a depth of several tens of kilometers. The mountain range, which was probably several thousand meters high, was eroded down to the hill relief mentioned above - while the entire area was simultaneously raised.
