Hiking

The limestone furnace on Eskesberg remained in operation until 1942. Around this time he was converted to the bomb shelter and shut down, among other things, probably because the working funnel was a simple target for enemy aircraft due to the highly visible glow.

Hiking

The limestone furnace on the Eskesberg in the Wuppertal district of Elberfeld-West (Quartier Varresbeck) is a historic industrial monument from the 19th century and one of the last remaining industrial lime kilns in the Niederberg region.
