NATURAL MONUMENT  KETZERSTEIN  IN THE HIGH WESTERWALD
The basalt block group of KETZERSTEIN near WEIßENBURG/WESTERWALD was formed in the TERTIARY, 25-30 million years ago, as a weathered part of an approximately 50 square kilometer basalt cover, partly up to 100 meters thick.
In close proximity to the stones, the compass shows fluctuating polarity, presumably due to the high IRON/TITANIUM content—I was able to verify this myself....
Located 610 meters above sea level, the name probably originates from a medieval border crossing, also called  KATZE ... a fascinating place, on 6.11.2018
