Prunn Castle Rock > a Geotope Prunn Castle sits atop a striking limestone rock that rises high above the Altmühl Valley. The rocks were formed in the Upper Jurassic in the Malm delta and epsilon. The higher sections probably extend into the Malm zeta. The "Plumpen Felsenkalk" rocks near Prunn are among the most important landscape elements of the lower Altmühl Valley. From the castle rock, you have a sweeping view over the Altmühl Valley.
