ベヒシュテットの天然記念物・トップ20

The Chrysoprase Weir is more than just a water control device; it's a place where the power of water and the beauty of nature harmoniously converge. It invites you to pause for a moment, watch the water play, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this small but beautiful spot on the Schwarza River.

Great photo opportunity, highly recommended

Great motifs, beautiful entry into the Schwarzatal

The hiking trail is very adventurous, if you dare to do it please be careful. There are a lot of trees on the route. You have to crawl over or under the trees. It is not suitable for everyone. This section should actually be closed for safety reasons.

The Crysopras weir is always an eye-catcher. Just looking at it cools you down.

Impressive rock formations. Challenging hiking trail over and under tree trunks. Great rest area with benches and fire pit and shelter with stamping station.

The Meurasteine are a three-tiered wall on a rocky ridge and extend a little into the Schlagetal. The jagged rocky section is a good 500 million years old and consists of quartzite. You can do a little scrambling here, over steps hewn into the rock. A shelter also "floats" there.

The path here leads through a deeply cut valley with some very steep rocky cliffs. Sometimes you can also see the so-called whirlpools in the riverbed. These are round depressions in the slate rock that have been "ground" by the Schwarza over thousands of years with stones and rubble. They are protected as natural monuments because they are very rare.
