デュンゲンハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

A great and impressive backdrop, as the two waterfalls rush under the bridge, with the mill and the castle in the background.

It's a shame that the Sandkaul Caves are used by some people as a dumping ground for their garbage.

The Sandkaul near Ettringen in the Volcanic Eifel.🖤 This former volcanic rock mining area is located on the edge of the Hochstein volcano, north of Ettringen on the L 82 highway, about 500 meters past the end of the village.🖤 Sad background: 🪖During World War II, the Ettringen caves were drilled into the rock...to protect against attacks🧨... 😑🙏🏼

The caves are interesting and this is where the most strenuous part of the Four Mountains Tour begins.

Here tuff was mined and at the same time protection against war attacks in the Second World War was created.

In this wall of volcanic ash and pumice some shelters were built in the past, the caves served as refuge caves in times of war.

The waterfall also rushes down into the mill pond during the drought summer of 2022. A fairytale sight that invites you to linger and dream. The picturesque restaurant in the water mill entices you to stop by. Unfortunately closed on Tuesday 😔
