The "Kranbuche" geological outcrop awaits you while hiking in Züschen. Here you can travel back in time to the Lower Devonian - around 390 million years into the past.
This geological natural monument is home to the famous "Kranbuche horizon", a layer of ancient spheroidal shale. With a little luck and a keen eye, you will discover fossilized witnesses of a long-gone ocean: from delicate crinoids and corals to prehistoric trilobites and arthropods.
