A truly impressive rock gate.

A short detour to the grotto is not necessary if your feet are already aching...for everyone else the extra few meters are worth it

Geological natural monument - Beerbergstein: During the Rotliegend, around 280 million years ago, molten magma penetrated the earth's surface and spread like a blanket over the existing rocks. Most of the rock cover has already been removed. The vein-like ascent channel has been preserved on the Beerbergstein. It consists of pale red porphyry. Small reddish feldspars and, more rarely, small quartz grains are sometimes included in the fine-grained matrix. The porphyry is very hard and resists weathering better than the surrounding rock, which is mostly granite. For this reason, the Beerbergstein is preserved today as a huge block of rock. It is not known whether the small grotto in the Beerbergstein dates back to mining work. (...from information board)

A really worthwhile mine trip by mountain bike to the Merkers potash mine. The tour offers a lot of interesting things and things worth seeing. For example, in the large bunker you can find the largest shovel excavator ever used underground. In the gold room we were also told a lot of interesting facts about the treasures of the German Reichsbank that were stored there during World War II. And the crystal grotto at a depth of 800m is a real feast for the eyes. But the best thing about it were the prevailing temperatures between 21°C and 28°C, even during our visit in December.

Awesome… no more words needed 😉

Cave passage on the small mountain path down the Devil's Bridge and then left instead of on the main path. In the cave next to the passage there is a real seating area made of stone.

You can basically walk completely through the rock.

The Beerberggrotte is a cave with fissures and crevices. It is located in the geological natural monument Beerbergstein, a huge boulder.
