Shut down in 1964, the formidable basalt rock walls still offer an impressive sight. There is also a shelter with a fireplace and a few benches. A delightful place to rest & explore.

You will find an old quarry with a refuge here. Next to it is a fire pit and some benches. The place can be explored, there are several paths.
