Hiking
The Roschertal owes its existence to a geological peculiarity. It is a breakthrough valley of the Mandau, which has cut through a basalt layer and underlying tertiary tuff layers. Such valleys are formed when a river erodes rock over long periods of time, while the surrounding area may rise or the water cuts deeper.
Geological development:
1. Tertiary deposits: In the Tertiary period (around 65 to 2.6 million years ago) the area was characterized by volcanic activity. Tuff - a rock made of volcanic ash - was deposited. Later, basalt flows poured over it and formed a resistant covering layer.
