    You are standing here in a volcanic cone that collapsed in prehistoric times. The columnar basalt was mined here until 1913. And the witch's house was - hard to believe - the house of the demolition expert. It was converted into a shelter in 1930/1952.

      The basalt quarry is very impressive.

        Very nice council place with seating at the witch's house with a song and information board at the basalt quarry
