볼뮌스터‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

클래식한 숲길을 다시 생각하게 하는 하이킹입니다. 여기서 하이킹은 즐겁습니다. 길 위에 있거나 가로지르는 많은 뿌리들을 주의해야 합니다. 넘어질 위험이 있습니다.

The Altschlossfelsen (also known as Eppenbrunn Castle) are a group of red sandstone rocks designated as a natural monument (ND) ND-7340-205 and a cultural monument (KD) in the municipality of Eppenbrunn in the Palatinate Forest on the border with France, and are the largest rock formation in the Palatinate. They are located on the eastern slope of the Brechenberg (406 m) near Eppenbrunn and Roppeviller at an elevation of approximately 365 m above sea level at the northeast end and 380 m above sea level at the southwest end of the rock band. The Altschlossfelsen are a group of red sandstone rocks approximately one and a half kilometers long and up to 30 meters high. The group consists of sandstone towers and walls. The Altschlossfelsen are crisscrossed by cracks and joints, some of which are wide enough to climb through. They are known primarily for their diverse weathering phenomena and rare lichens. The summit plateau can be reached from the north and south on narrow paths. There, you'll find a sparse forest and moss-covered rocks. A special lighting situation created by the sun, the "rock glow," is best seen around 7:00 p.m. in the first half of April, depending on weather conditions, vegetation, and the position of the sun. In the morning hours, the glow occurs around 8:45 a.m. Finds from the Hallstatt and Roman periods attest to earlier settlement of the rock group. In 1964, for example, shards from the La Tène period (c. 450–50 BC) were found. Traces of a medieval castle from the 11th or 12th century are found on the four main rocks. These include the remains of a stepped structure, post holes, remains of masonry, and notches for beams in the rock. A depression with a diameter of four meters is located on a rock, which may have served as a cistern. Additionally, on the southern and northern slopes around the rock formation, humped blocks, which may have originated from the structure of a former castle, as well as shards from the High Middle Ages were found in a wall groove. A more precise dating of the castle complex is difficult, as the castle was not mentioned before 1297 or later in the 1605 border description between Lorraine and the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.

Today the light, and the time, did not favor the brightness among the rocks.

It was very beautiful there, but I was there at the wrong time. I'll be back :) Does anyone know the best time to see the rocks like this?

A beautiful hiking trail along the historic rock formations near the border

magnificent rocky landscape, super beautiful.

A special lighting situation created by the sun, the "rock glow", is best seen in the first half of April around 7 p.m. on the southeast side of the third rock from the east (from Eppenbrunn), depending on the weather, vegetation and position of the sun.

Very nice
