Mauzenstein, Natural monument rock formation in Northern Black Forest, Germany.
The Mauzenstein stands at 704.8 meters above sea level, featuring visible sedimentary layers on its sandstone surfaces near Gaggenau and Bad Herrenalb.
The rock formation functioned as a boundary marker with cross-shaped carvings along the historical path between Baden and Württemberg regions in Germany.
Local beliefs connected the rock to ancient astronomical practices, though geologist Walter Hasemann later identified the circular formations as natural concretions.
The hiking route to Mauzenstein extends 13 kilometers from Bernbach, requiring approximately 3.5 hours to complete with moderate elevation changes.
The geological structure belongs to the upper gravel horizon of Middle Buntsandstone, displaying natural spherical formations within its sedimentary layers.
