geology
Within the Sipplinger Dreieck, on the Rotweilerberg, there is a geological peculiarity, the seven Churfirsten , pillar-like, five to seven meter high sandstone cliffs that were created in the post-ice age by erosion from rain and wind.
The name of the rock formation is said to derive from the prince electors , who with their hats look like the rocks. The “caps” of the rocks are made of harder rock that has protected the underlying sandstone from erosion.
The Churfirsten can be easily reached by hikers from the Süßenmühle car park (0.4 km) and from the center of Sipplingen (1.8 km).
