A geological peculiarity is included in the tour.

The Hohenzollern Graben is a geological fault line that stretches from southwest Germany to Austria. It was created by tensions in the Earth's crust that led to shifts millions of years ago. The rift is particularly striking along the Swabian Alb, where it clearly shapes the landscape. Rock layers are exposed here that would otherwise remain hidden. The area is of great interest to geologists because it provides deeper insights into the development of Central Europe.

There are always impressive cracks on the edge of the cliff, but these have nothing to do with the Zollerngraben. The fault zone even runs across the Albtrauf and is actually higher than the surrounding area.

The Hohenzollern Graben was formed 15 million years ago as a result of the tectonic tensions caused by the folding of the Alps under the pressure of the African plate and the associated uplift of the Swabian Alb. The enormous forces created cracks, crevices and trenches. Although it is a collapse area, the terrain inside the graben towers above its surroundings. This so-called relief reversal is particularly evident in the example of the Hohenzollern, where a height difference of up to 350 meters is reached. As a witness mountain, it owes its position and formation to the harder, more erosion-resistant types of rock inside the graben. On the Alb plateau, too, the hilly, wooded terrain along the graben stands out from the flatter, unforested surroundings outside the graben.

Opposite the biotope there is a large barbecue area where even dry firewood is available under the roof.

The Hohenzollerngraben or Zollerngraben is the name given to the geological rift in the southwestern Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg, which is over 30 kilometers long and on average 1.5 kilometers wide. https://www.zollernalb.com/attraktionen/hohenzollerngraben-7eefd052cc

A historic stone bridge can be admired at the beginning of the approximately 500 meter long Wolfsschlucht.
