Very refreshing in summer! The tear lay is a lime sinter grotto worth seeing, in which lime deposits have given rise to unusual rock shapes. The explanation for this phenomenon: When rainwater seeps through the thick layer of sandstone on the plateau, it dissolves the calcareous binder that holds the quartz grains of the rock together. Where spring water emerges on slopes and valleys, but also on the banks of streams or rivers, the carbonic acid escapes from the soluble lime compound, the water evaporates and what remains is almost pure limestone. It is called lime sinter or lime tuff. The lime sinter settles along the flow paths of the water and covers mosses and plant parts with a stone crust. This is how fascinating rock shapes are created. The process of tufa formation continues steadily, the rocks "grow" like stalactites. (Source: www.naturpark-suedeifel.de)
