Hiking

Magnificent views of the basalt blocks, some of which are already overgrown

Hiking

The south side of the Gangolfsberg is known for the geotopes Teufelskeller and basalt prism wall, but there are also extensive large rubble heaps / block heaps, where an advanced form of weathering can be explored. The rock is also heavily mossed, which, depending on the incidence of light, brings with it an interesting play of green colors.

Hiking

Along the hiking trails you can often see small and larger rocks protruding from the forest floor
