Aussichtsplattform Kalksteinbruch Lienen

Even when the weather is not clear, the quarry makes a gigantic impression. Perfect view from the observation deck.

Lime is extracted here.

We were lucky enough to be able to watch the blasting work.

Is already impressive to see. But nature suffers

Very impressive, only nature suffers

Nice distant view, rest area directly at the viewpoint.

Wherever building materials are taken out of the ground, there is an enormous encroachment on nature and gigantic cuts arise. It is an impressive sight. A renaturation is essential and soon after that new plant and animal species will settle. It takes time ...

Here we took a break and were able to get an impression of the quarry.

The view is simply beautiful

Good view and what I think is nice is that it will be filled up again, but back to nature will still take a while.

Using the QR code on the TerraTrack board, you can find out interesting facts about the limestone that is mined here. Just hold the phone camera on it.

Very impressive view of the quarry.

The Lien limestone quarry may not be entered, except as part of a guided tour. Valuable limestone has been mined in the quarry since the beginning of the 1950s. The special excavator can lift 8 tons of limestone with one swing.
