Tips
What a creation of words: “Flammenmergelsteinbruch” has twenty-two letters and only seven. To the point: In the disused quarry in the upper Zwergental, flamed marl - so called because of its "flamed" appearance - was mined and used as gravel to pave the way. That was long ago. After decommissioning, you can see how the forest is slowly reclaiming the quarry.
