    Standing at the top, you can still guess the volcano, the basalt of which was mined here. Benches and a small hut invite you to take a break - which you also need when you walk up from the west.

      The basalt quarry was operated until 1958. A historical film document gives a good impression of the dismantling activities and the dangerousness of the work:
