At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut into the slope covered with beech trees at a considerable height. Here the rock of the middle Bunter sandstone from the Triassic period stands in bright orange-red colors. These deposits in river and delta areas are around 220 million years old.

At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut the beech slope at a stately height. Here, in bright orange-red colors, the middle red sandstone rock of the Triassic geologic age can be seen. These deposits in river and delta areas are about 220 million years old. The oblique stratification of the sandstone visible in the bedrock in alternating layers with horizontal strata and gravel bands testifies to the different flow conditions of the primordial waters. The arch's shape is the result of thousands of years of exposure to water from the meandering Enz River. The surface of the rock face is still subject to constant weathering, in places the rock is slightly more porous. An interesting insight into the floor structure can be obtained in the upper part. The overlying Earths here only reach a thickness of less than a meter. Natural crevices provide nesting and breeding grounds for the kingfisher, which is native to the area.

Above the castle complex is the pilgrimage site of the Neuburg citizens: The 46 cm tall Madonna, a replica of the Altötting Madonna from the 17th century donated by Kuno von Falkenstein, stands in a 700-year-old oak tree. Age and candle smoke have colored the statue of the Madonna dark brown, almost black. Station paintings of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, created by sculptor J. Hess in the 19th century, lead to this lonely pilgrimage site. https://neuerburg-eifel.de/index.php/stadt-neuerburg/wandern

The burning candles in the little chapel light up the tree opposite. At least that's how it looks when you approach in the dark from the other side of the creek valley.

Opposite the chapel there is an old tree with a holy picture built into a column.

Here you can pause and light a candle. Many small signs thank Maria for help!

Beautiful tightrope walk over rugged slate rocks with great views. I liked it very much.

beautiful rust red rocks and logs with a BBQ area to sit
