The Külpmann quarry is located on the Böllberg in Albringhausen, Wetter (Ruhr). Ruhr sandstone was mined in the quarry. The site was operated by the Külpmann family from 1932. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Since 2013 there has been a sales warehouse for a natural stone dealer here. The quarry wall is a geological outcrop from the Carboniferous period that still exists today.

Hiking

The ascent can be tedious, but the parking lot at the sports field on Böllberg Wetter is not far and from there you can start the hike very well, so there are hardly any meters in altitude.

Hiking

Above the old Külpmann quarry on the Böllberg you have a wonderful (almost 360 degrees) view, among other things you can see as far as Wuppertal.
