The former quarry has now become an important biotope. A pair of eagle owls nests here. The quarry used to be open and you could find fossils and interesting minerals. Now the old quarry is no longer accessible. The quarry, which is still being dismantled, is open for guided tours at certain times.

2 older stone pits are fenced in as a nature reserve. Here nature is left to its own devices. The 3rd quarry is still active.
