Hiking

The lime sinter terraces on the slopes of the gorge are a unique natural phenomenon, presumably caused by a reaction between groundwater, which emerges here from several small springs, and the air. The resulting lime sinter then forms a fine crust over the soil surface and the plants growing there. Ground-dwelling plants such as mosses and ferns are therefore of great importance for the further growth of the terraces.

the lime sinter stairs are beautiful to look at, partly overgrown with moss.
