A natural monument from Taunuscuarzit. The "Hohle Stein", a designated natural monument, is a striking group of rocky cliffs made of Taunus quartzite north-west of the Buchwaldkopf. A higher proportion of silicic acid or quartz (chemical: SiO,), which we know in crystalline form as rock crystal, amethyst or rose quartz, ensured that this quartzite area of the main Taunus ridge was protected from intensive weathering in the humid and warm tropical climate in the Paleogene (from 65 to 23.8 million years) was dissected out as "Härtling™. Such outstanding rock formations in the landscape often served as places of worship and mystical places in Central Europe's prehistoric times. It is not known whether this was also the case with Hohlen Stein. There is no evidence or lore for it. But there is at least evidence that humans stayed in the Oberjosbach area in prehistoric times. A mystical place? Early evidence of humans are also three burial mounds near the Oberjosbach forester's lodge. What is the nature of these burial mounds is unclear. However, hundreds of such graves are known from the Taunus region, dating from the Bronze Age (16th to 12th centuries). century B.C. BC) and the Iron Age (earlier Hallstatt period 8th to 5th century BC). The rocks of the Hohle Stein also testify to the powerful forces of mountain building. In some places they have a rock surface with scratches and grooves, which are caused by two rock bodies sliding past each other during mountain formation. These surfaces are called armor, an old mining term. The "Hollow Stone" The earliest evidence of humans in the district of Oberjosbach comes from the New Stone Age, the Neolithic (5600-2200 BC). In 1973, while digging in the "Saalbachfeld", a woman from Oberjosbach came across a stone that showed traces of human processing. This is a smaller ax from the early Stone Age, the material of which, a slate, probably comes from the Main gravel. Although this find does not prove that the district was settled, it does provide evidence of the at least temporary presence of hunters and gatherers before about 2300 BC. Chr.

Fresh, cool drinking water. At 30 degrees in the shade (and there's not much of that in the Aartal) it's an absolute highlight for me.

Old Roman spring, which was renovated with a lot of commitment - a big thank you to the helpers! The water tastes slightly ferrous, fizzes slightly and is refreshing. Ideal for filling up the drinking bottles, the water has drinking water quality and is checked regularly 👍

The water is fizzy and tastes of iron. This is ideal for hikers and cyclists to fill up their water bottles.

Highest point in the area. There is no visibility because the trees are now too big. Nevertheless, a nice cozy place.
