Grandmother Rock
Highlight • Natural Monument
The plateau on which the Kasteler Felsenpfad dream loop runs consists of a horizontally deposited layer of rocks from the geological series of Buntsandstein. These continental deposits alternate between rocky sand and coarse gravel layers. The gravelly deposits were formed during times of higher water levels and associated higher flow velocities. In the layer sequences there are also less hard rocks such as claystone or transitional forms between sandstone and claystone. These can be weathered out more easily and the harder layers remain. This is how impressive shapes were created.
During the formation of the sandstone, easily soluble aluminum sulfate was incorporated. However, this salt destroys the rock. Wind and weather remove the decomposed areas, leaving behind characteristic honeycomb-shaped structures. This process is therefore called honeycomb weathering.

Fox Den (Devil's Wall)
Highlight • Cave
You get into the burrow through a narrow entrance. A spiral staircase leads into the depths, where a narrow corridor connects. The cave offers space for several people inside. There is a bench with a panoramic window opposite, which allows a less spectacular view of the forest.
The name for the artificial cavity was borrowed from the hunter's language. The name refers to the construction of the red foxes with access tunnel (tube) and living space (boiler). Only the escape tubes common with wild animals are missing in the man-made "burrow". The red fox burrows do not have such a beautiful window in the living room ”👹🤠
