Isteiner Klotz, National Geotope in Lörrach, Germany.
The Isteiner Klotz rises 150 meters above the Rhine floodplains, forming a prominent limestone ridge between the villages of Istein and Kleinkems.
The site received its National Geotope designation in 2006, joining 77 other geological formations recognized for their scientific importance in Germany.
The Vitus Chapel, constructed around 1100, stands within a rock niche at the western end of Isteiner Klotz near the ruins of Istein Castle.
A three-kilometer circular trail leads visitors through the geological formation, providing access to various observation points and natural features.
Since the 19th century, botanists have conducted research at Isteiner Klotz, studying its specialized plant life adapted to the limestone environment.
