There is a beautiful view of the large area from the viewing platform - good for a picnic with a bench.

Quote from the WN: "150 million years ago, the quarry formed on the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest from a coral reef. To this day, excavations of fossils and ammonites are reminiscent of their origins, the layers at the quarry correspond to the history of the earth Every year, the lime works in the limestone quarry recover 200,000 tonnes of rock. "End of the quote

Humans intervene massively in nature at this point, but this creates new natural spaces that re-imitate the typography of the Teutoburg Forest, it is said.

Nice is different - here you look over a dreary, risque terrain on which the Teutoburg Forest is being dug up industrially. As a hiker, this is not particularly pleasing, on the contrary.
