Sandstones, Gorges, and Geological History to Touch
This hike leads into a landscape in Oberwaiz where stones really have stories to tell. Sandstones Tell Their Story combines nature experience, regional geological history, and a guided discovery tour with Geopark ranger Rainer Seifert in the Oberwaizer Graben and at Teufelsloch.
A Discovery Experience in Romantic Wilderness
Between stream beds, rock walls, and shady gorges, the view opens up on the geological development of the region. The tour visibly demonstrates how much water, time, and rock have shaped the landscape. Those who experience Oberwaiz in this way discover not only paths and viewpoints but also a piece of cultural and natural heritage.
Guided Hike with Geological Background
The event is designed as a guided hike and is aimed at all those who want to get to know nature, landscape, and local history more intensively. The Geopark Bavaria-Bohemia stands for compact geological history, environmental education, and geotourism offers in one of the most exciting regions of Franconia. The tour conveys background information clearly and vividly without losing the character of a real discovery journey.
Oberwaizer Graben and Teufelsloch from a New Perspective
