See the Stones? It’s the Sea of Stones.
The Sea of Stones in the Lautertal is a magnificent natural wonder of the Odenwald. There is geological explanation and a mythical one about two giants hurtling stones at each other.
And just to make sure that you do not think I am showing you close-ups of some pebbles, let me add something for scale:
Braving the Sea
The Sea of Stones is a natural phenomenon in the Odenwald. You can take a stroll on the pathways or you can make an expedition of it and dive in.

Sea of stones
In the Lautertal, a valley in the southern part of the state of Hesse in Germany, is the “Felsenmeer” or sea of stones. The geological processes which created this natural phenomenon happened almost 400 million years ago, over time erosion laid bare these boulders. Romans quarried them, and there are about 150 work pieces left from these times which were left behind.
