Tips
Absolutely impressive view into the open pit of the Taunus-Quarzit-Werke - the largest quartzite quarry in Europe. The pit is 150 meters deep and is to be enlarged by a further 10 hectares in the coming years. Definitely worth seeing!

Quartzite is mined in the Köpperner quarry, which is used in road construction, among other things.
From the platform you have a great view of the quartzite movement. It is definitely worth a trip, even if it is a bit uphill.translated by•May 1, 2021
