Wutha Fault Geological Natural Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here in the western part of the Hörselberge is the geological natural monument "Wutha Warp". The rock layers of the former quarry, which are more than 65 meters high here, offer a wonderful view of the history of the earth 100 million years ago. Thanks to movements of the earth's crust, the rock layers that were once marine were shifted. This is the following rock sequence from top to bottom that was tectonically stressed: Upper Wellenkalk, Terebrate Zone, Middle Wellenkalk, Oolithzone and Unterer Wellenkalk. This sequence of layers formed about 240 million years ago.

Hörsel River in Wutha

Highlight • River

As we take the last few steps down the mountain, we gaze upon a beautiful rock formation.

A short distance along the edge of town, we come across the Hörsel River.

A short distance along the edge of town, we come across the Hörsel River.

When we see the Burschenschaft monument in the distance, we are approaching Eisenach.

Passing the houses, everything points to the Way of St. James.

As we continue along the fields and meadows, with mountains in front of us and the tracks beside us, a train passes by.
