Brauselay, Nature reserve in Cochem, Germany.

The Brauselay reserve rises 65 meters above the Moselle River, featuring sandstone rock formations and cliffs that tower over the surrounding landscape.

The geological formation of Brauselay occurred 300 million years ago during the Variscan orogeny when horizontal seabeds were compressed into rock folds.

A white Madonna statue stands on a rock outcrop within Brauselay, placed there by unknown individuals during World War II.

From the Cond district of Cochem, visitors can follow a marked path to reach an observation point above the protected area.

Goats maintain the open landscape of Brauselay, where Mediterranean flora grows due to dry summers in the rain shadow of Eifel and Hunsrück.
