Tips
An old quarry site, now deep under the canopy of beech trees again. Nature takes back what was once taken from her. Moss settles like patina on the broken rock, relics of former walls steadfastly defend themselves against decay. It's beautiful to look at, worth visiting.

The nice thing about this tour are the explanations that line the way in the form of signs on the trees. It's worth stopping for a moment and exploring the sometimes very interesting stories and biological backgrounds.
