The prehistoric Stöffel mouse and magnificent orchidsIn the Tertiary period 25 million years ago, the climate was humid and warm, with jungle-like tropical vegetation and active volcanoes dominating the landscape. Glowing lava flows of volcanic basalt rock poured over a primeval lake and buried all life beneath them. However, this also preserved the tertiary fauna and flora. Basalt has been quarried on the Stöffel to the south-east of Enspel for more than 100 years. With an area of 140 hectares, this is the largest contiguous basalt quarry in the Westerwald. After the basalt layers were removed, numerous well-preserved fossils from the Tertiary period were found in the underlying oil shale. Since 1990, over 20,000 finds have been recovered, the most spectacular of which was probably the "Stöffelmaus", a prehistoric gliding mouse. Today, the basalt deposits here are almost exhausted and the Stöffel Park is used for tourism and cultural purposes. In the "Tertiary Experience" and "Basalt Experience", visitors to this unique museum can learn about the world 25 million years ago and the industrial history of the Westerwald.
