Hiking tour Starting from Kellergraben, Furth
The Zellergraben hollow way is a characteristic element of the Further cultural landscape, with a length of almost 1 km and fascinating loess walls over 12 m high, it is the largest hollow way in the market town. A special geological feature in the Zellergraben is the "Göttweiger Verlehmungszone". This is a reddish-brown soil horizon from the warm period between the Mindel and Riss ice ages, which only exists around the Göttweiger Berg. 11 display boards provide information about the formation of the loess deposits and their significance for wine.
