Hiking

This disused quarry appears again and again in various Eifel thrillers. Be it as a scene of crime or as a meditative retreat of the Eifel crime novel hero Sigi Baumeister.

Therefore, the quarry is also a stop on the crime trail around Hillesheim.

Hiking

Very nice and interesting quarry. It is not only part of the crime thriller trail, but also belongs to the "Geo-Destinations Hillesheimer Land". A picnic table with benches also invites you to rest.

Hiking

The vineyard consists of limestone and dolomite layers from the Middle Devonian period. The sequence of layers is between 20 and 100 meters thick. The limestone layers are formed from the carbonate deposits of a sea that covered the Eifel region in the Middle Devonian period. Source: kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=6770
