The quarry (also known as "Rotsch") was formerly a site for the extraction of limestone and dolomite, which was crucial for the local construction and economic structure. Today, the quarry has been located and forms an impressive, near-natural lake that provides a picturesque backdrop – deep cliffs and steep walls characterize the landscape.
