The erosion gully in Hainich National Park impressively shows how water shapes the forest floor during rain. The soils in Hainich consist largely of Muschelkalk - a rock that is easily washed away by water. The water carries material with it, and small rills form. Over time, these develop into erosion gullies like this one. A bridge leads over this gully. In spring, you can admire a sea of wild garlic here. A quiet place where you can enjoy nature and collect the Touringen stamp no. 40 at the same time.
