The Riesenburg as a Stage of Earth History
The name alone conjures images of mighty rock formations and serene natural cathedrals. On-site, visitors will experience the impressive karst landscape around the Riesenburg, whose shape has been sculpted by water over long periods. In addition to the spectacular geology, the remnants of a once-thriving waterfall are also highlighted, which still makes the unique dynamics of this place palpable today.
