Sound Stones on the Geological Adventure Trail

Highlight • Structure

Why do some stones sound bright and some dull? You will find out the answer at the Klangsteine station. When you throw a rock into the water, you'll see ripples spreading around where the rock meets the surface. It is similar with sound. When you hit a rock with a hammer, a sound wave propagates inside the rock. If it is finely crystalline or homogeneous, you will hear a bright sound. If there are crystal boundaries or microcracks that impede the propagation of the sound wave, a muffled tone is heard. Try it now!

Stone Sorting Machine on the Bewegte Steine Geo-Adventure Trail

Highlight • Structure

A stone sorting machine to operate and match stones. Great technique. Wonderful for kids and the kids at heart. First you can try to correctly assign the stones to the rock types. If you have placed a lot of stones to the patterns, you can operate the mechanism and the stones slide back into the shovel.

Erratic Boulder Stack on the Geological Nature Trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the boulder stack you will get to know the four rock classes as they can be found at different depths of the earth or on the earth's surface: plutonic rock such as granite, effusion rock such as porphyry, metamorphosed rock such as gneiss or sedimentary rock such as sandstone. You can also touch the stones, which are polished smooth in places, and feel how different the rock types are.

Gauss Stone on Brelinger Hill

Highlight • Monument

The Brelinger Berg was piled up to a height of 92 meters during the Saale Ice Age around 230,000 years ago. It is located in beautiful Wedemark. There is a landscape protection area around the mountain to restore the animal and plant world that has been affected by the heavy sand and gravel quarrying. On the summit of the Brelinger Berg there is a Gauss stone, which commemorates the land survey carried out by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828.

May 3, 2026,🇩🇪 Geologischer Lehrpfad Oegenbostel - Wedemark

Today's hike on the geological educational trail near Oegenbostel in the Wedemark was a real highlight for a sunny spring day. With the best "t-shirt weather," the nearly 10-kilometer route offered ideal conditions for exploring the ice-age-shaped landscape of the Brelinger Berge. The route leads through a varied mix of dense forest sections and open fields, with gentle ascents totaling …

Visiting my sister and taking the opportunity to walk in Romy's footsteps again.

June 15, 2023,Auf den Brelinger Berg

A summery tour on the Brelinger Berg. The start was at the Brelinger See parking lot, which is also the first highlight of the trail. It owes its existence to gravel mining. The path along the edge runs on a kind of high bank from which you have a beautiful view of the lake.
After that, a lot of forest …
