The quarry is located a little off the Preußensteig trail. A detour is definitely worth it

⛏️ Old quarry on the Steinberg – a silent testament to the past

Tucked away on the slopes of the Steinberg lies this abandoned quarry – today a mysterious place where nature and history meet. The rock faces, overgrown with moss, ferns, and young greenery, tell the story of the hard work of past generations.

Tip: A short detour is worthwhile – especially for nature lovers and photographers looking for special motifs.
