    Hiking

    Formed and erected in the Devonian period approximately 380 million years ago by the outflow of molten magma and subsequent folding, the porphyry rocks, up to 90 m high, stand prominently on the Istenberg mountain.

    The four mighty, up to 90 m high porphyry boulders of the Bruchhauser Steine were exposed from the surrounding clay and sandstone over millions of years and are now a widely visible landmark of the Sauerland region. They are considered the oldest evidence of submarine volcanic eruptions from the prehistoric Sauerland low mountain range.
