Felsenpfad, Geological educational trail in Kirkel, Germany.
The Felsenpfad trail extends over 5.4 kilometers through dense forest areas, featuring red-brown sandstone formations and narrow passages between rock walls.
The trail includes multiple sandstone formations that developed over millions of years, with the upper layer forming the significant Karlstal level containing iron ore.
Local legends tell of an unfortunate rider who fell from the rock formation known as Unglücksfelsen, giving this section of the trail its name.
The path offers informative signs explaining geological features, with a forest classroom and rest areas strategically positioned along the route.
The Hollerlöcher section presents distinct sandstone rock formations, ending at Hollerkanzel viewpoint which overlooks the surrounding Kirkel forest landscape.
