The approximately 100 m wide rock formation of the Great Volzemer Stones consists of huge sandstone blocks up to 10 m high. Rain and seepage water wash away the soft clayey-sandy layers of earth. The water that has penetrated then blasts off the exposed boulders, which collect as heaps of boulders at the foot of the rocks.
The quartz-bearing stones of the middle federal sandstone are also called "champanger stones". They are particularly good for making millstones.

Hiking

A wonderful natural highlight right on the hiking trail. The information board explains briefly and comprehensibly what the beautiful rock formations are all about. Until 1949, blanks for fountain troughs and millstones were still made here. If you are attentive, you can still find workpieces that have been started.
