Cycling
The region, which is geologically strongly characterized by slate and gneiss, has been rising steadily for millions of years. Flowing waters such as the Emsbach or small streams take advantage of this steep gradient and carve deep into the ground through the erosion-resistant rocks. This deep erosion is intensified by sporadic heavy rainfall events, which cause the water to swell and develop enormous erosive power.

Mountain biking
The summit of the mountain spur is enclosed by an oval main rampart. Originally, this was a massive stone-and-earth wall, supported by wooden beams, which offered protection to the high-altitude settlement. Today, this construction is visible in the terrain as a clearly recognizable, overgrown earthwork.
