Over basalt block screes to the lookout tower on the Rauher Kulm Hard to believe: In the Upper Palatinate, there are over a hundred volcanoes. One of the most impressive is undoubtedly the Rauher Kulm. Around 21 million years ago, there were explosive eruptions when hot magma met groundwater. The magma solidified into a basalt pipe, which only became visible through the weathering of the surrounding rock layers. The exposed basalt columns broke apart and left a debris field through which we labor on this hike to the summit of the Rauher Kulm. Where today a lookout tower crowns the summit, there once stood a castle, probably built around 950 for defense against the Hungarians. Pre-Christian finds around the Rauher Kulm testify to early settlement.
