Triebischtalにある興味深いジオトープ - 天然記念物に指定されています

It's well worth a visit.

According to legend, the shallow cave in the rock (quartz-armed porphyry or rhyolite) was once much larger, and three fairies lived there. On a full moon night, a minstrel who had previously played at the fair in Hintergersdorf (spa town of Hartha) passed by. The three fairies had laid out laundry on the meadow to bleach. The musician picked up a lace cloth and took it with him. However, when he got home, instead of the cloth, he held a gray cobweb in his hand. Before sunrise, he returned the cobweb to its place, where it became a lace cloth again, just as the other laundry disappeared with the first rays of sunlight. Since then, the fairies have not been seen again, and the cave has become a shallow hole.

On the lower slope is the "Heyneberg" limestone quarry with a rock face up to 12 m high old, small, south-facing quarry with excavation for lime extraction, south-east of Heyneberg. Height of the slate rock walls alternated with calcareous and quartzitic greywacke, max. 15 m.

On the right side of the Röschenmundloch there is a small cave that was created by quartzite mining. Apparently, opportunity not only makes thieves but also miners, because this cave was created almost incidentally during the construction of the Rösche to extract quartzite for porcelain production.
