Roter Puhl Sandstone Cliffs on the Enz

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the "Roter Puhl" the Enz has cut the beech slope at a stately height. Here, in bright orange-red colors, the middle red sandstone rock of the Triassic geologic age can be seen. These deposits in river and delta areas are about 220 million years old.

The oblique stratification of the sandstone visible in the bedrock in alternating layers with horizontal strata and gravel bands testifies to the different flow conditions of the primordial waters. The arch's shape is the result of thousands of years of exposure to water from the meandering Enz River.

The surface of the rock face is still subject to constant weathering, in places the rock is slightly more porous. An interesting insight into the floor structure can be obtained in the upper part. The overlying Earths here only reach a thickness of less than a meter. Natural crevices provide nesting and breeding grounds for the kingfisher, which is native to the area.

On October 1, 1886, Ponsfeld received a railway connection with the opening of the section between Prüm and Bleialf. During the Second World War, the station was first destroyed and later rebuilt. But from the 1970s, passenger and later freight traffic on the line was discontinued. Today, a Köf II shunting locomotive produced by Deutz and a flat goods wagon are erected as a memorial at the former level crossing. The Köf II was in service with the DB from 1959 to 1984.

Enztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very nice bike path in the Enztal on the former railway line between Neuerburg and Arzfeld. The slope of Neuerburg is light, continuous and hardly noticeable; Back in the other direction, the bike rolls accordingly nicely.
