For this trip, it's best to bring a geologist's hammer with you to "beat" flint and flint stones. But please do not forget goggles. The best time is from March to October. Special opening times are not to be considered. The geo / biotope is freely accessible!

Hiking

The old quarry site offers a panoramic view of the Ries Impact event with 13 event panels and a viewing platform. On this geological and natural history trail you can also use a hammer to knock original rocks from the quarry yourself.

Usually open all year round.
