    A beautiful path along the rocks, many views are offered to the brave climbers😉🤣

    Brown iron mineralization, the shape of which is reminiscent of impressions of mussel shells.
    Because of this appearance, the location also got the name “Muschelsaal”. The mineralization was caused by volcanic or post-volcanic processes.
