Frauensteine, Stone formation in Aaper Forest, Düsseldorf, Germany
The Frauensteine consists of ten quartzite stones measuring over one meter in length, forming a natural cluster in the forest terrain.
The stones emerged during the Oligocene period 35 million years ago when ocean sediments solidified into cement quartzite through silicic acid processes.
Local mythology refers to these stones as Witte Wiewerkes or Siebenstein, with tales suggesting their potential use as ancient ceremonial grounds.
Several marked hiking trails in the Aaper Forest lead to the Frauensteine, with access points from multiple directions throughout the forest paths.
The red and yellow sands surrounding the Frauensteine contain marine sediments that transformed into solid rock during the Miocene period.
