Hiking

The Marxe Lay is a basalt quarry that belonged to the Marx family. The walls of the quarry are 12 meters high. At the very top you can see the remains of a crane house.

Hiking

In the former basalt quarry of the Marxe Lay the trail runs partly between the up to 12m high and almost vertical rock walls.

Hiking

The Mayen forest never disappoints! Again and again it is exciting to hike here and you will find so much. Here is the Marxe Lay, which was discovered by the Traumpfadeteam only by accident. Only good, because this place is mystical and exciting at the same time
