Ebersberg Rock Sea

The Ebersberg Felsenmeer is an impressive natural monument and consists of many cuboid sandstone blocks. Wind and rain have eliminated the soft materials over millions of years while the harder stone blocks have been preserved. The blocks have a width of up to 5 meters and a height of 2 meters. The rock is quite sharp-edged and in many cases the blocks are wedged together. Mosses, ferns and fallen trees give an enchanted picture. The inhabitants of the nearby district of Erbach-Bullau used to use the boulders to build their houses and stables. Legends about dwarfs, giants and trolls are entwined around the Ebersberg Felsenmeer.

The Ebersberg Felsenmeer is a natural monument and is located between Ebersberg, Beerfelden-Hetzbach and Bullau in the middle Odenwald. The cuboidal rocks are made of sandstone, which are solidified by silica. In the nearby Bullau, the stones were used in earlier times for the construction of houses and stables.

Interesting for geologists and for people who like to scramble a bit. Where the emphasis is on "a little bit" ;-)
