The Felsenmeer is a nature reserve. On both sides of the path there are many sandstone rocks covered with mosses and lichens. Among other things, black pines, oaks, birches and horsetails grow.

there are a lot of stones lying around

In 1882, the Leferenz brothers, who were active in the region, bought a large area on the western slope of the Hoher Nistler with their civil engineering and railway construction company and an area on the Bergstraße with a connecting strip in between. The aim of the entrepreneurs was actually to build a secondary railway from Heidelberg to Schriesheim and possibly expand it later. In 1883 they finally received the concession, even with the option of running the route to Weinheim.[11] Because of their poor financial situation, the brothers made a proposal to the community: their company should build a connecting railway between the community quarry and the railway at their own expense, which would become property of the community after 20 years. In return, the municipality was to undertake in future to only transport the broken material to Heidelberg via the Leferenz brothers' railway line. If the proposal were to be accepted, Leferenz would undertake not to operate a quarry itself.[11] Since the stone carters saw their work threatened, the citizens' committee meeting under their pressure narrowly decided against the brothers' proposal.[11] The company then used all its resources to build the quarry; a loading station was set up on the mountain road and a cable car was put into operation at the break. However, the branch line could not be realized afterwards. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinbruch_von_Dossenheim

Interesting western style quarry.

The Felsenmeer is located in the Heidelberg city forest, south of Schlierbach. The ice-age heap of rock from the weathering products of the Buntsandstein on the north-east slope of the Königstuhl is home to vegetation of oaks, birches, rowan berries and sweet chestnuts and is rich in mosses and lichens.

Pure nature, great views, mystical path through the mossy rocks! Deserted, the alternative to the overcrowded steps and mountain railway !!!

Beautifully designed Aboretum, which invites you to linger. Interesting sculptures next to interesting plantings.

Even as a ruin, the huge castle of Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful castles in Germany.
