The terrain above the Lahn marble quarries is somewhat remote, but can be reached in dry weather. The larger one with a break edge of 14 meters lies on Wirbelauer and the smaller one, which runs towards the pond, on Schupbacher district.

In the area between the quarries there are still unprocessed blocks z. Some with saw marks and drill holes. Furthermore, one can still find the remains of a Derrik crane with ingrown tethers.

A descent into the Bruch can only be advised against: slippery and overgrown!
