The Obernkirchener sandstone is named after the place Obernkirchen am Bückeberg in northern Germany. The broken sandstone is also called Bückebergsandstein and Bremer Stein because it was often used in Bremen or shipped to the Weser. Said sandstone was transported by a narrow-gauge railway from the quarry. This highlight presents remnants of this train and a space below the bridge.

Buildings in the middle of the forest indicate mining management in bygone times. Here a railway line went through the middle of the forest.
