Location and description
.jpg)
The Felsenmeer is located southeast of Murrhardt near the Riesberg Tower and extends over an approximately 60 meter high steep slope of the Rissberg directly below a rock face up to ten meters high made of Fleinsstein from the Lower Stubensandstein Formation. It ends at the bottom with a terrace-like leveling, which then merges into a flattening (with a pond) below another steep slope. The geomorphology of this area suggests an old landslide area with two clods that have slipped off like a staircase. The sandstone blocks, which are up to several cubic meters in size, come from the 100 meter wide demolition wall from Fleins above the cluster of blocks. A connection with a push-off running parallel to the slope immediately below is to be assumed.
The Felsenmeer is located in the natural area 101 - Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains within the main natural unit 10 - Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land . It is part of the protected landscape area No. 1.19.039 Murrhardter Wald . The Felsenmeer is also protected as a geotope under the name Felsenmeer on the slope of the Rißberg SE Murrhardt .
