Sandstone in Nürnberg


The bedrock sandstone in Nürnberg is called Burg Sandstone because it was first identified in the location where the Burg was built. This photo shows how water once flowed by this sandstone for an extended period, carving it out. What I find interesting is that this indentation is part of the support rock for the Burg wall.
