    Hiking

    In the winter months there is a freezing outlook. Otherwise you can also enjoy the view of the green treetops.

    Sandstone was mined here until June 1st, 1964. The quarry has been a nature reserve since 1984. During World War II, ammunition for anti-aircraft guns located on the ridge along the Teuto was stored in the quarry. Two bunker chambers were directly on the road, two more were on the western wall in the quarry itself.

    The site also has information on the formation of the geological layers in the quarry, a list of fossils and some photos.
