But through the lonely halls of the former stronghold made of concrete and steel, the wind howled plaintively for 30 years before the limestone works returned this huge complex, which after all covered 4 hectares and did not allow any vegetation to grow, to the cooperatives. This crater landscape had become a playground for outsiders in our society. Large pools of used oil, spilled diesel oil and open diesel oil barrels with contents were part of the agenda.

This place was in the middle of the water protection and recovery area - it couldn't go on like this. What was to be done? The British pioneer unit had an understanding, it came to negotiations and offers. As part of a large-scale exercise, the site was to be prepared for recultivation by blasting and levelling. The authorities gave their consent to the project. First, the small buildings in the quarry were razed to the ground with excavators and caterpillars. The large loading bunker could not be blown up because the tremors would probably have caused cracks in the rock of the fall valley and changes in the groundwater level would have endangered the central water supply system, whose three wells and pumping stations are in the immediate vicinity. So the hydra was only cut off the head, i. H. the superstructure of the bunker system, the machine halls and tipping devices for the huge stone crushers have disappeared. The outbuildings were trouble free. The British did a great job, mixing the rubble with soil and pushing it down the slope.

Easier to reach on the climb. Muddy especially when wet
