Heldenfingen Cliff, Natural monument in Gerstetten, Germany.
The cliff features a hollow caused by wave action in the white Jurassic rock, marked by numerous holes from boring mollusks and sponges.
The formation dates back 15 million years when it served as a rocky coast during the Tertiary period of the Upper Marine Molasse.
The Reef Museum in Gerstetten displays fossil collections and educational materials about the ancient underwater world with corals and sponges.
A 14-kilometer circular path known as the Ancient Sea Trail starts at the cliff and accommodates both hikers and cyclists.
The geological multi-generation playground situated directly at the cliff provides educational entertainment for visitors of all ages.
