    The Wollsack weathering is a particular manifestation of the weathering of rocks. Through the interaction of physical and chemical processes, edge-rounded rock blocks are formed during the weathering of wool sack, which are stacked on top of each other like pillows, mattresses or just like woolen sacks. The pictorial term "wool sack" derives from coarse sacks filled with wool.
    At this point (the so-called sand pit) on the Rehberger Graben the Wollsack weathering is very good to see.
