Steinerne Rinne bei Hechlingen, Tuff stone channel in Heidenheim, Germany.
The Steinerne Rinne extends for 10 meters with a width of 1 meter, featuring a natural formation of calcium deposits and moss at 490 meters elevation.
The original 100-meter-long calc-tuff channel was modified when a water pipeline was installed, leaving only a portion of the natural formation intact.
The geological formation serves as an educational site for understanding the interaction between mineral-rich water sources and natural stone formation processes.
Visitors can reach the site by following the ST 2384 road from Hechlingen toward Heidenheim until reaching Scheckenmühle, where parking spaces are available.
The calcium-rich spring water interacts with mosses and algae to create continuous mineral deposits, forming the stone channel through natural precipitation processes.
