The Dohlenstein is a 366.4 m high mountain east of Kahla in Thuringia . He is enthroned about 200 m above the Saale valley, the valley floor of which is 160 m. The north-western slope of the Dohlenstein breaks off steeply to an impact slope of the Saale . Around 1350 there was a vineyard there. In the centuries that followed, landslides loosened from there several times, leaving behind an up to 40 m high demolition niche from the vertically sloping rocks of the Lower Muschelkalk . Large landslides are documented for 1740, 1780, 1828, 1881 and 1920. The landslide masses form the central area of ​​the northwest slope. The weathering of the demolition wall resulted in extensive rubble compartments.

Prehistory
