    At the parking lot on the map there is a circular route that shows all these fine sights exactly… so nothing gets lost

      At the turn of the century, the rock formation you can see was the former knocking facility of the earlier basalt quarry. In the 19th century there were several quarries or places with basalt deposits, from which the city of Amöneburg sold basalt stones for roads and house building or boundary stones. An old cart and a bench to linger are on site.

        This former "knob factory" of the former basalt quarry with the associated information board and the old lorry is very interesting! It is also a nice place to take a break.
