    Hiking

    Waldstein granite is very popular and of high quality. It is mined in this quarry. It is light gray to pastel yellow in color with a uniform, medium-grain structure.

    Hiking

    Already in the 15th century began around the Fichtelgebirge the first attempts to break down the granite. Later put a brisk granite mining on Waldstein. Meanwhile, the granite from Waldstein has to contend with strong competition from China.

    Beautiful lake at the quarry. One would like to jump in, but is prohibited.
