리센도르프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerolsteiner Dolomiten The tour was really beautiful... It won't be the last time I'm there ❤️

You'll almost come across here again on the way back. Enjoy the well signposted path!

Just a few more meters and you've made it. At the top there is a great view and nice seating. Top!

The mountain path leads through an extremely barren and beautiful juniper landscape. Loosened up by the Stations of the Cross and peppered with beautiful views of the valley.

The great rocks rise impressively in front of us. Just great to experience something like this here. The name Gerolsteiner Dolomites speaks for itself.

The trail leads to the 'Buchenloch Cave' which lies at the far edge of the Munterley Plateau. This was created 1.8 million years ago from a millimeter-wide crack in the rock massif and was used by people in the Neolithic Age 300,000 years ago.

Almost 400 million years ago, where the Gerolsteiner Dolomites rise today, there was a subtropical shallow sea with a huge reef that is one of the oldest reefs on earth. This particularly beautiful and attractive hiking trail with scenic and geological features takes the hiker into an exciting past of our planet with beautiful views from Munterley and Hustley into the Kylltal.

"With an area of around 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolstein Dolomites has been designated a nature reserve since 1990. + animal species found: bat + plant species found: juniper, orchids, characteristic plants, calcareous grassland, woodrush beech forest, woodruff beech forest, orchid calcareous beech forest Around 380 million years ago, there was a warm, subtropical shallow sea here, in which mighty reefs of stromatoporoids - relatives of sponges - and corals formed. After the dolomitization, sinking and folding of the rocks, the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. This created today's Gerolstein Dolomites, which rise steeply above the Kyll valley north of the center of Gerolstein. The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" characterize the cityscape even from afar and form the landmark Gerolsteins. The most famous peak of the Gerolstein Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters - and offers a breathtaking view over Gerolstein, the Kyll valley and far into the Volcanic Eifel. This view was obviously also enjoyed by Stone Age people who settled here 30,000 years ago, as evidenced by stone tools and bones found in the nearby Buchenloch cave. Visit to the Gerolstein Dolomites can be perfectly combined with hiking the rock path - the northern part of the "Gerolstein Dolomites Eight". The almost eight-kilometer-long circular tour offers many magical places and geological traces." https://www.eifel.info/a-gerolsteiner-dolomiten
