Weiße Mauer, Natural geological formation in Oberursel, Germany.
Weiße Mauer is a natural white quartzite rock formation in the Taunus landscape near Oberursel. The boulder fields and stone outcrops were created through natural geological processes and stand out distinctly against the surrounding forest.
The formation was shaped during the Ice Age when intense frost action fractured the hard quartzite rock. This natural weathering process created the distinctive stone fields and rock configurations visible today.
The site connects to multiple marked hiking paths within Naturpark Taunus, including routes named after local wildlife such as owls and wild boars.
The site is accessible from Fuchstanz via paved paths and has parking areas for both cars and bicycles. It sits along marked hiking trails in Naturpark Taunus, making it easy to reach on foot or as part of a longer walk.
The location serves as a natural classroom for observing the ice age weathering processes that shaped the rock over thousands of years. Visitors can examine the fracture patterns and layering directly and see how natural forces reshaped the terrain.
