    The three-storey former inn was opened in 1906 by the quarry operator Joseph Rüth. Not only as a bar, but also as a hostel for quarry workers.

      This is where the Borstein quarry once stood, from 1906 to 1908. Unfortunately, nothing more can be seen of the good piece, but at least there is a sign ;-)

        Coming from Zotzenbach as a waypoint marker on the way up to the Tromm. All that remains of the former inn are a few stone walls. Shortly before that is the singer's observatory, which is a good place to rest. As the trees have grown tall, there is no special view here.
