A little off the hiking route we found the ruins of a bunker embedded in a hill. Another trace of basalt mining. People did not seek shelter in this bunker, but rather it was where the explosives for the quarry were stored.

This bunker protected people from what was stored inside. The explosives stored here were needed at the nearby Backenberger quarry.
