Stone Sorting Machine on the Bewegte Steine Geo-Adventure Trail

Highlight • Structure

A stone sorting machine to operate and match stones. Great technique. Wonderful for kids and the kids at heart. First you can try to correctly assign the stones to the rock types. If you have placed a lot of stones to the patterns, you can operate the mechanism and the stones slide back into the shovel.

Erratic Boulder Stack on the Geological Nature Trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the boulder stack you will get to know the four rock classes as they can be found at different depths of the earth or on the earth's surface: plutonic rock such as granite, effusion rock such as porphyry, metamorphosed rock such as gneiss or sedimentary rock such as sandstone. You can also touch the stones, which are polished smooth in places, and feel how different the rock types are.

Sound Stones on the Geological Adventure Trail

Highlight • Structure

Why do some stones sound bright and some dull? You will find out the answer at the Klangsteine station. When you throw a rock into the water, you'll see ripples spreading around where the rock meets the surface. It is similar with sound. When you hit a rock with a hammer, a sound wave propagates inside the rock. If it is finely crystalline or homogeneous, you will hear a bright sound. If there are crystal boundaries or microcracks that impede the propagation of the sound wave, a muffled tone is heard. Try it now!

We actually wanted to go to the Harz today💚, but the weather forecast put us off🙁. With the thunderstorm predicted, you shouldn't really rush through the forests and mountains😘.

Instead, we used the dry and thunderstorm-free time to admire the flowers and animals currently growing around Brelinger Berg. Also present today, but not visible in the photos, were herons, various …

Mega beautiful and varied tour ☺️👍🏼👍🏼🥾🥾
Some stations where you can learn interesting facts.
The great lake is highly recommended, even when it's not so nice and especially when the sun is shining. A real feel-good oasis 🤗

May 24, 2024,Brelinger Berg - mit vielen bewegten Steinen und mehr 🌳🌸🐸

On narrow paths around and up the Brelinger Berg. After all the fresh May green in the beech forests, the scent of pine was an invigorating change today! The stories about the history of the stones make this tour even more interesting and varied.

We did a lovely hike today. It was quite chilly at the beginning, but the sun 🌞 was giving us its all! Halfway through, we stopped for a little refreshment at the gravel pit in the sun 🌞!
The route is just about doable for us.
