Heinzemann Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

At Heinzemannskopf, the fiery past of the Vogelsberg volcano region is impressively demonstrated. The relics of the volcanic activity extend here for more than 200m in length and one guesses how powerful the lava flow once was.

Today the Heinzemann tour was on the program again.

This condition lasted for what felt like three quarters of the entire hike, and …

A beautiful tour through the typical cultural landscape of the Vogelsberg with its meadow valleys. You are alternately led through forests and open country, along the edges of the forest with wide views and wonderful ponds that invite you to linger.
Well signposted!
