Volcanic activity during prehistoric times shaped this region. In the Neolithic period, the course of the Selbitz river sawed up to 170 meters deep into the volcanic rock and created a narrow gorge.

A truly enjoyable hike. Some of the trails run close to the slope, so it's not for those with vertigo. But the views are simply fantastic.👍
