Hohllay Caves

The rock formation known as Hohllay is, like the name may imply, a hollowed out formation made by man's interaction with the environment.

During olden times, the Romans used these materials to build rock houses and tools, and in the Middle Ages, the nearby mills of the Oeren Monastery, in Trier, had the obligation of using stones strictly extracted from Hohllay.
