The quarry, which operated until the 1980s, was called a marble quarry. In the vernacular, the limestone extracted here and at the vineyard was also called Cistercian marble. These insights into the rock layers are definitely interesting. One should not go onto the site because of the risk of falling rocks.

If you look closely, you can see a lot of fossils in the large stones on the side of the road in front of the quarry! 🤩
