It is a sandstone formation from the Rotliegend, the last phase of the Earth's ancient history from 296 - 251 million years ago. Sandstone forms from sediment layers at the bottom of rivers, which solidify under high pressure and over a long period. Sandstone formations differ by inclusions, e.g. iron veins. Sandstone without marl inclusions was sought after as a very stable building material.

Fantastic Alpine cuisine. Here you'll find the only true mountain hut experience outside the Alps. With Allgäuer Büble beer, Tyrolean Gröstl, and delicious Kaiserschmarrn.

The entrance is somewhat hidden at the side of the road; only when you are inside do you realize its size.
