Lenzigskeller Basalt Formation

In the middle of the forest you come across a unique and somehow bizarre rock formation at this point. The stone protrudes from the forest floor like individual sticks.

In the late 18th century, lignite was discovered in the area of today's municipality of Söhrewald – coal was mined in open-cast and underground mines at the Stellberg until 1967. Information boards along the Eco Trail Mining in the Söhre inform about the hard work of the miners and the effects on nature and landscape. (Grimmsteig Erlebnisregion)

Mostly it goes through the forest or along the edge of the forest. Well, for me the Stellbergsee (for us it was always the Mondsee, no idea …
