Description
Morphologie
The Zechstein limestones of the Werra Formation (z1) are exposed over a length of approx. 200 m and up to about 8-15 m in height (2 levels). In the rock face, numerous fissure caves, enlarged by mining (extraction of paving stones), are intersected. The limestones show in part a very closely spaced jointing, the bedding is platy, in part banked, the attitude approximately horizontal.
Progression
Today a hiking trail runs along the limestone wall and gives a good insight into the caves.
Histoire
According to the information board, in the 18th and 19th centuries attempts were possibly also made to reach or extract the copper marls occurring at the base of the Zechstein limestones from the caves.
