Felsenmeer is stonefield in Lautertal (Odenwald, Germany. The sculpture can be found near the parking lot.
The landscape between the river Rhine, Main and Neckar took millions of years to evolve. Earth history lies just underneath your feet. Each rock can reveal a part of this long story. The rocks you find on a walk trough the Crystaline Odenwald at the Felsenmeer (Sea of Rocks) were formed several kilometres deep in the earth’s crust during the collision of two ancient continents: The Rhine Rift Valley and the steep slopes of the Bergstrasse were formed during huge downward movements of the crust. The rocks of the Felsenmeer were once a layer of granite lying in a bed of gravel. Over many millennia, the elements weatherd the granite down. The gravel below washed away, leaving the huge rocks to sink into the soft soil beneath.
