Highlight • Natural Monument

Here you can look for flints yourself, i.e. pebbles, and knock on the stones yourself ... so don't forget your hammer and safety glasses, flints are very splintery!

August 4, 2024,Riegelberg - Erlebnis Geotop Lindle - "Astronauten-Steinbruch Siegling"
Today we went to Ries - near Holheim
The photos of the Eisbrunn stopover should actually be at the end and are not part of the tour. But Komoot cannot be convinced of this...

Very nice hike through the Lindle geotop, past a former Roman estate up to the Riegelberg with the Ofnet caves and then back to the Literaturcafé. In the geopark you can learn a lot of interesting things about the formation of the Nördlinger Ries.
