A very good historical outline (including old pictures of basalt mining) can be found here:

A narrow path leads around the quarry, secured by steel cables and fences, a path that requires sure-footedness, a head for heights and physical condition. The view towards the refuge is at its most beautiful when the sun is shining even more beautifully.

Here is a true view into the interior of the earth. Other basalt quarries in the Rhön are filled with water. Here, on the other hand, you can look down along the steep slopes - extremely impressive. Interesting how the plant world, despite the difficult conditions, is trying to gain a foothold.
