    "Until presumably at the end of the 1940s, pebble and black slate were mined here in shallow mines to graze the surrounding farms and dirt roads."
    (Information board)


    Today you can find a rubble pit with small pools and rugged cliffs. In order to preserve the "dwarf shrub heath" and to prevent excessive growth, the biotope has been grazed by goats two to three times a year for several weeks since 2018. During these times, the gates are locked and the fence is live. The facility is accessible for the rest of the year.
