History
Description
 |
| Image: the wooden boardwalk. |
The Steinerne Rinne (Rock Runnel) near Rohrbach is actually an unimposing
sight.
If you follow the road out of the small village there is a parking lot with a
hydrotherapy pool on the left hand side.
The Steinerne Rinne is located uphill in the forest and is easily accessible by
a wooden boardwalk.
There are numerous explanatory signs.
But the runnel itself is rather unspectacular, just a small brook, with a bed
10cm wide and 10cm deep.
But a closer look reveals the strangest detail: the water runs on top of a dam
built of limestone or better tufa.
The dam had to be repaired on several spots, vandalism is today a problem many
Natural Monuments.
For a detailed explanaition have a look at the page
Tufa Runnel.
The spring which feeds the runnel springs from the border between two layers of
the Dogger locally called Opalinuston and Eisensandstein.
