The photo was taken on the Feldstein, one of the four Bruchhauser Steine. The Feldstein is 45 m high. The Bruchhauser Steine consist of four rocks up to 90 m high, which are made of porphyry rock, a very hard rock. As one of the most important geotopes in Germany, the Bruchhauser Steine have been awarded the title of "National Geotope". The Bruchhauser Steine are not only a unique natural monument, but also an impressive cultural monument. Excavation findings prove that they were already visited by people about 6,000 years ago.
