Gesteinsgarten Gommern, Educational trail and park in Gommern, Germany.
The Gesteinsgarten presents over 240 rock blocks from more than 200 locations, with specimens weighing between 1 and 3 tons each.
The collection reminds visitors of centuries of quartzite mining in Gommern, which supplied building materials for the Magdeburg Cathedral during medieval times.
Geoscientists initiated this geological garden in April 1995, creating Germany's largest open-air rock collection with support from local organizations.
Located 15 kilometers southeast of Magdeburg along route B246a, the 2000-square-meter garden remains open year-round with free admission.
The garden features a glacial pot discovered by Felix Wahnschaffe in 1902, alongside rocks from multiple European countries and German federal states.
