The access was very overgrown in the summer of 2016 and therefore exciting to commit. In the end, you had to be careful not to fall out of the lake (be careful!)

The basalt quarry lies on the less well-known east side of the large Ölberg and is hardly recognizable from below. On narrow paths you get closer to the break and to a small lake. CAUTION, the shore is steep and lush overgrown, mortal danger! At the nearby monument and rest area "Dittmanns Ruh" you can enjoy a beautiful view during a break.

In the summer of 2016, the access to the quarry was very overgrown and therefore exciting to explore. Shortly before the lake you had to be really careful, because you could not see the bluff because of the man-high weeds
