View of the Sinter Terraces of the Weiße Lauter

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "sinter terraces" are located near Gutenberg (a district of Lenningen) in the Esslingen district of Baden-Württemberg.

- a "natural monument" that deserves protection!

- numerous sinter terraces and basins have formed on the gradient steps of the "Weiße Lauter"
- - see also: geopark-alb.de/de/Sinterterrassen/Sintertreppe-Wei%C3%9Fe-Lauter
- Sinter steps or sinter terraces are deposits of porous calcareous tufa in a flowing body of water
- the area around the sinter terraces is a valuable habitat for many animals and plants!
- The travertine terraces are not accessible, as the delicate structures are destroyed upon entry and must regenerate over a long period of time.

- In 2020, the entrances were closed teckbote.de/nachrichten/lokalnachrichten-lenninger-tal_artikel,-badende-zerstoeren-ein-paradies-_arid,253010.html

Weiße Lauter Sinter Terraces

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The clever and nature-loving hiker follows the official route and does not cross the weir to the meadow side where there is no hiking trail on the private property.

Swabian Alb Shepherd Art Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

The sinter terraces in Gutenberg are spectacular, cascading gradients on the Weiße Lauter. They remind me of a waterfall with cascades. Beautiful to look at and a spectacular sight in the Swabian Alb.
