    Hiking

    Great Horst quarry

    The Great Horst is a stock-like intrusion made of latitandesite with a dimension of about 2700 m length and up to 1100 m width, which penetrated into the previously horizontally layered sediments of the Rotliegend and shifted them almost vertically in the edge area of the intrusion. The red-lying cover layers of the intrusion were eroded around 2.5 million years ago in the older Quaternary or later Tertiary. Source: Text information board

    Here you stand lofty above the erupted rock, which from a distance looks like a big wound in the mountain 🏔
