Steinerne Rinne bei Wolfsbronn, Protected limestone formation in Wolfsbronn, Germany.
The Steinerne Rinne consists of a 128-meter-long limestone tufa formation that rises to 1.6 meters in height along the Hahnenkamm mountain range.
The area received protection status in 1984, covering 6.53 hectares of land between 495 and 550 meters above sea level in Middle Franconia.
The formation demonstrates natural geological processes where calcium deposits from flowing water continuously build up the stream bed, creating a rare natural phenomenon.
Visitors can access the site via a wooden walkway from the parking area on county road WUG 34, with informational panels explaining the ecological features.
The water channel supports specific plant life including liverworts, mosses, and orchids, while wild garlic grows abundantly in the nutrient-rich soil.
