シーネンの天然記念物・トップ20

Along the rippling Geul River, an impressive marlstone wall rises, a silent witness to Limburg's underground landscape. These calcareous rocks were used for centuries for construction and crafts and now offer a fascinating sight for hikers and nature lovers. The wall forms a natural boundary along the water and, in some places, harbors small caves and niches where flora and fauna have found a home. The contrast of the white marl against the green foliage and the glistening water of the Geul makes this a particularly photogenic and tranquil spot during your walk.

Beautiful part of the walk along the Geul

When the path that has been running between slopes and sloping forest on one side and the Geul on the other side suddenly starts to rise a bit, you know what is coming: part of the marl crops out and offers you a glimpse of what you can discover if you take one of the paths away from the Geul: quarries and marl.

Beautiful cycle path through beautiful nature. The route is used by many cyclists.

Beautiful path between marl and Geul...

Along the Geul you will repeatedly come across steep slopes made of marl, which has been mined in this region for hundreds of years and is also used in Häuserbai. With a bit of luck you can find fossils.

Today, after the watermills have stopped grinding, the region is striving to become a destination for gentle tourism with the 700-hectare Rodebach / Roode Beek nature and landscape park on both sides of the state border.

From many hilltops in Brunssummerheide there are great views and sometimes surprising views.
