Great cycle path, super route

Great rock formations. However, I wouldn't go too close, as rocks can still break off and fall down.

Information boards from ancient times

Nice to do kilometers

📍 Agate Trail Freisen Right on the edge of the quarry stands a simple bench – overlooking what was once an active mining site. Today, silence reigns here. The contrast between the rugged rock faces and the tranquility of the moment makes this place special. Ideal for a short rest – with a panoramic view of space and time. 💡 Tip: A beautiful spot for a second breakfast, a deep photo, or simply for reflection. Those who sit here tend to stay a little longer.

You can sit by the water and relax. Perfect way to cool down in summer 😉

Very interesting former agate quarry.

This andesite rock ball (basalt rose) is very impressive and rarely seen. https://www.outdooractive.com/de/poi/landkreis-sankt-wendel/andesit-felsenkugel-basaltrose-/2797772/ The creation of the approximately 15 m high "basalt rose", as it is colloquially called, poses a mystery: some see this as evidence of a moving lava flow. Other experts, on the other hand, consider the shape to be the outcrop of an upward dome-like intrusion, i.e. the remainder of an igneous melt that pressed into the already solidified volcanic rock. After this subterranean passage was exposed by erosion, platy deposits formed due to pressure relief and weathering. As if through a window into the history of the earth, you can admire the andesite intrusion in cross-section today.
