The castle on the "tuff"

Hidden Treasure in the Neckar valley

During a television documentary from the series' driving go there ", which is on Tuesday 19 October, 22.00 bis 22.30 clock, the numerous castles dedicates the Neckar valley, while the "castle Dauchstein" expected "Binau, engages proregnews out a special feature of this medieval castle tower - no historical, but an unusual geological attraction: the sintered lime, also called" tuff called "the castle which once gave its name, perhaps even its purported location on a steep slope of the river valley.

non-striking as Margrave Castle Zwingenberg inconspicuous than the Neckarsteinach castles or castle Zwingenberg, and certainly not as romantic as the transfigured Heidelberg Castle: At the bottom Binau The Neckar Valley Castle Dauchstein of steep, sandstone towers flanks. Get is still the residential tower as a testament to early Burgbauhistorie, lovingly restored by couple of Jawurek Neudenau.

Man discovered the rugged tower today by chance. As a relic of the medieval era castle, he stands defiant behind dense vegetation hillside opposite a very different, modern style created function construction: the now disused Obrigheim nuclear power plant. A readable contribution to the history Dauchstein-related way in wikipedia .

But the system is not only a historical highlight, but has its very own "Earth History" to tell. Below the castle lies like a Dauchstein rocky curtain a particular type of rock on the steep slope. Its yellowish-white coloration reveals that this is not the typical regional Buntsandstein is: In dense vegetation, you discover a porous "tufa", also known as travertine. Better yet, take the name of the sintered lime mode of origin of these rocks.

It is a "curtain" of limestone, which covers at this point the upcoming Sandstone: calcareous groundwater, which comes from the originally overlying limestone, works its way through the inner pore system of the red sandstone, seeps through, piling up layers of clay to swell finally on the steep slope out of crevices. At source the lime part of the groundwater to precipitate until a crust gradually grows from sintered lime.

on an old photograph, dating back to 1900, the tufa curtain below the castle is clearly visible. At that time the Binau side of the valley was still free of vegetation. Also likely to medieval times, the whitish rocks have been widely visible. Perhaps it was even as a symbol of the men at Castle Dauchstein? Today, the sintered lime under the thick trees and bushes of the Neckar valley slope part is hidden.

The old term "tufa" on the sometimes porous rock is due to the similarity to volcanic tuffites with which it has nothing to do but actually do nothing. Another option is to "Duck stone" - or even "Dauchstein. For example, the medieval castle at Binau get their name appears on the special geological conditions, from the rare Kalkgesteinsformation under its red sandstone walls.

to look more closely To travertine, you have to go now to a more adventurous descent through overgrown paths underneath the residential tower. In other words, for hikers and geo-tourism attraction is the natural space by strong growth and lack of backup paths is not currently available. Certainly it would be a great addition to the geological "Dauchstein" which Sinterkalkkruste below the castle, expose and again, as yet about the year 1900, making it accessible, so to use it to increase the experience value for the subject tourism. Travertine below the striking medieval tower block - a hidden treasure in the Neckar valley.

The caves can be reached by starting from Punta de s' Estaca (on the southeastern tip of the peninsula between Peguera and Palma ) from the bay of Portals Vells follows (beautiful beaches , some nudist ). By bus you can ride up to "Casino".


so completely without is the short hike on a summer day with 40 degrees in the shade not , sturdy shoes are recommended, but well worth the sight is - relatively few visitors find here in her the cave with the old altars. I was reading a travel guide , they were seafarers in 14/15. Century have been created . Elsewhere I read that altar was created for Mary as a goddess of the sea, the statue will now but kept elsewhere. Who knows ...

The mixture of Christian and other symbolism is exciting, the place has something.
