Hippelsteinchen - Gönnersdorf

Gönnersdorf

Geologically speaking, the "Hippelsteinchen" is a dolomite and mushroom rock. Several dolomite blocks are layerd on top of each other so that the rock formation resembles a mushroom, about 5 meters high and just as wide. It is possible that since ancient times the stone served as a border stone, probably even as a signpost and a plave of worship.

Fischbach-Drees bei Birresborn

The magnesium-calcium mineralisation here comes from sandstone and claystone as well as overlying volcanic rock. The high content of carbonic acid originates from the Eifel volcanism and gives the water the name ‘Säuerling’ (acidulous). A total of five springs are known in Birresborn, several of which were of great economic importance. Today, drinking water can be taken from the Lindenquelle and the Fischbach-Drees.
