The Eisgraben exhibits impressive layers of the Middle Buntsandstein. It's a fascinating place for geology enthusiasts to experience Earth's history firsthand.

The name "Maingestellsgraben" is unwieldy, but it fits the tangle that currently exists there. What is it all about? The "Maingestellsgraben" is a small side valley that branches off from the Main Valley behind the Karlstadt industrial park. It is part of the Grainberg-Kalbenstein nature reserve. But over the years, the area has become heavily overgrown. There are also several trash-strewn buildings and rusty fences there. That's about to change.

The Sodenberg crater, a disused basalt quarry near Hammelburg, was opened in 1904 and operated until 1958. It was used to mine basalt for road construction and other purposes. With a depth of around 100 meters and a diameter of around 200 meters, the mining created an impressive crater that is now a popular tourist destination.

Info and map of the place

Here is a true view into the interior of the earth. Other basalt quarries in the Rhön are filled with water. Here, on the other hand, you can look down along the steep slopes - extremely impressive. Interesting how the plant world, despite the difficult conditions, is trying to gain a foothold.
