Natural monument geological outcrop on the Via Regia
The geological outcropping natural monument on the Via Regia with an area of 0.11 ha is located south of Essentho in the urban area of Marsberg . The area was designated as a natural monument (ND) in 2008 with the Marsberg landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis . The LB is surrounded by the nature reserve Randhöhen between Sintfeld and Diemeltal .
description
The landscape plan explains the ND: “On the southwest slope of the haar, the old military road“ Via Regia ”is accompanied by a steep embankment, on which the heavily folded Arnsberg layers stand. The rocks show both turbidites (slope sediments from submarine flow movements) and various types of folds, some with narrow special folds. The stratification structure, the rock deformations and folds are geoscientifically interesting objects to be seen in the extreme northeast corner of the Rhenish Slate Mountains.
