Taunus quartzite is an extremely hard and weather-resistant rock that formed around 400 million years ago in the Lower Devonian period from sand deposits. Because it is significantly more resistant than the surrounding slate, it forms the "backbone" of the Taunus today and shapes the highest peaks of the low mountain range with striking rock formations such as the Eschbacher Klippen. The mostly light gray to whitish rock is used today primarily in road construction, as railway ballast, or for the glass industry due to its robustness.

This forest, dubbed the northernmost pine forest in Europe (though I'm not an expert, I'd guess it's *Pinus pinea*), was probably a mistake. In the 19th century, the Kapellenberg hill was reforested, and these pines were planted on its barren, rocky southern slope. The city's 1878 accounts mention 11,500 young *Pinus* saplings – without specifying them further. Did *Pinus pinea* sound much more like a pine tree to the buyer than *Pinus sylvestris*? In any case, the Mediterranean plants seem to thrive here, attracting many a surprised glance from passersby.

The Grey Stone at the Cohausen Temple is a Taunus quartzite, which was formed by Tertiary weathering and Quaternary exposure and was later probably brought to its current location as a menhir.
