Immerse yourself in the 390-million-year-old volcanic history of the Sauerland at this fascinating destination in Züschen. One highlight is the rare Züschen quartz ceratophyric tuff, which was formed when hot ash rained into a shallow primeval sea and mixed with the seabed.

Experience an exciting journey through time and learn how the shallow sea of yore left its mark. You can still discover prehistoric fossils such as trilobites, corals and crinoids in the marine rock layers. An exciting detail: the soft tuff from here was even used directly in the Züschen parish church! This idyllic attraction for nature lovers is located at an altitude of 626 meters and is just waiting to be explored by you.
