The Adorf Cliff, a former iron ore open-cast mine, is now considered an important geological outcrop. 

The "Red Cliff" is also a place where inner childhood memories easily reawaken. At dusk, the view encompasses the two entrances to the so-called Badger's Den, where a shy inhabitant with black and white fur sometimes appears – lured by the nearby cornfields. The surroundings grow still, and the landscape begins to blend with images from long ago.

The mighty, 350-million-year-old iron ore blocks suddenly form the walls of an imaginary canyon. The ancient burial sites from medieval mining transform into hideaways for a distant adventure. And the dense belt of wild roses framing the red rocks becomes the protective wall of a secret tribe.
