    The former quarry is now behind a fence with barbed wire. You can still take a nice photo, because the fence is damaged in one place.

      We spent a lot of our youth on the small plateau. It was always called a festival site among the Schönwalders. It is not uncommon for us to pitch our tents here.
      There is also a very nice single trail around the small plateau.
      which then ends at the sand pit.

        At the time when the quarries were still active in the Kornberg forests, the cranes stood on towers like these and transported the spoil from the quarry.
