라이켈스하임(오덴발트)‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The giant column is 9.33 m long and weighs 27.5 t. It was probably created at the beginning of the 4th century and is therefore almost 2,000 years old. The granite from the Felsenmeer near Lautertal was used in the construction of the cathedral in Trier. Four mighty granite columns, each 12 m high and weighing 65 tons, once supported the building. Two fragments of a column have been lying next to the cathedral portal as the “Trier Domstein” since 1623. The only 9.33 m long column from the Felsenmeer never found its way to Trier.

Nice when a bit of water falls down.

Through the leaves and moss… caution is advised when climbing around here

Ancient Roman work piece planned as a pillar for a large church complex in Trier. 27.5 tons heavy and 9.33 meters long.

I like being there, it's "my" local mountain after all 😎✋

Even if the tower is closed on weekdays, it is a great lonely MTB destination. Nice climb and top panoramas on the way. Anytime again 😀

Fascinating, the last ice age left a few rocks here. Absolutely worth seeing, the best thing to do is hike up from below over the rocks, which is not without danger, hold on to children. Unfortunately very crowded on Sundays and public holidays when the weather is nice. There is a rest stop at the top. With the MTB you cross the Felsenmeer on the way in a few places.

The kiosk is usually open from April to the end of October. In bad weather, the kiosk remains closed. Friday is rest day.
