The Schnottwil mines were economically important as early as the 15th century. The hard material is particularly suitable for millstones. The millstones were sold to Holland. They were transported by car to Büren a. Aare and from there on the waterway (Aare-Rhein) on fins.

On the flat lawn in front of the quarry there is a brick fire pit with a grill, table and benches. Running water and waste containers are available.
