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.

In the pictures here only the former basalt break can be seen. The Sodenberg is much more!

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:
