Beautiful restaurant in an idyllic location by the forest

The soot from the steam locomotives can still be seen on the ceiling.

A nice photo motif when driving towards the tunnel

Interesting information boards on the geological development

Interesting information boards on the rock formations and the history of the earth from a geological point of view.

Part of the route, the dream loop follows the geological nature trail.

Gemünden geo-teaching trail Stones tell the history of the earth The geological nature trail in Gemünden, opened in 1978, is a kind of showcase into the history of the earth. Blocks of rock arranged chronologically along the way provide an insight into the varied geological development of the Hunsrück and the Nahe mountains bordering to the south over a period of more than 400 million years. The blocks of rock, weighing up to 16 tons, come from the area between Koblenz - Bingen - Bad Kreuznach - Birkenfeld - Morbach. For each group of rocks, a plaque indicates the name, place of origin, formation, peculiarity and age of the rock. Here you can see, among other things, the gneiss from Wartenstein, the quartzite from Schöneberg, slate from Bacharach, Bundenbach and Gemünden, the limestone and ores from Stromberg, sword spar from Baumholder, diabase from the Hahnenbach and Kellenbach valleys, porphyry from Bad Münster am Stein, sandstone and Conglomerates from Sobernheim and "Strandsande" with oysters from Eckelsheim. In addition, some stones were cut so that the visitor can see into the stone. The tunnels along the path are witnesses to the former slate mining. Many senses are addressed on the nature trail, because the rocks that line the path invite you to feel and touch. Source: Text http://www.gemuenden.de/index.php/lehrpfade.html
