Behind it is (however fenced) the former red sand quarry, in which sandstone was mined for 700 years.
The sandstone museum is very clear and interesting, with the geological-paleontological part about the history and the origin of the Cornberg sandstone. The attached museum section is particularly interesting for children with numerous fossils from the copper slate of the Richelsdorf Mountains and the Cornberger Zechstein, which give an impression of the earlier biodiversity of marine animals and plants.
