ツォフィンゲンの天然記念物・トップ20

After rock shedding was discovered near the Column Grotto in the fall of 2022, the municipality carried out various investigation and remediation work. During this time, the sandstone cave was closed. The investigation and remediation work has since been completed. Thus, there is essentially no longer any safety risk while in and around the Column Grotto. Every effort has been made to prevent any further rock shedding. However, a residual risk of natural hazards cannot be completely ruled out.

In spring, there are always many frogs spawning in this pond and in a nearby pond. Therefore, drive carefully. The frogs cross the road, especially at night. Signs are posted along the way, warning cyclists to be aware of this.

Unfortunately, access to the quarry has been prohibited since this spring due to rockfall danger😢😭😢😭😢

Currently not accessible due to rockfall

Large barbecue area somewhat hidden, with the best view of the beautiful sandstone sculptures

Natural rose garden The newly designed and ecologically upgraded rose garden includes very different areas. It invites you to stroll and linger, whether on the lawn and play area, in the exercise area or in the sculpture park. One area is dedicated to rest, another serves as a classroom. The natural upgrading of the rose garden was suggested by the population. The park and former cemetery was turned into a meeting place for generations through various measures. There is now a small vegetable garden for the Garden Child project (Bioterra) and a school garden, a snack garden for everyone and many natural elements that can also be implemented in private gardens. These include the numerous newly planted native perennials and shrubs, small structures such as piles of branches and dry stone walls as well as robust rose varieties.

Extensive nature reserve in deep forest.

There is a small pond here with signs describing the nature reserve. It is worth stopping here for a moment and taking a look inside. There is a lot to learn and discover here.
