    Hiking

    Former bottling plant.
    Several chutes ensured that the load was evenly distributed on the carts.
    Reed sandstone from Heilbronn was one of the most popular building materials in Württemberg and far beyond in the 19th century. It was used to build the Kilian Church in Heilbronn, the statues at Heidelberg Castle, ornaments on the Cologne Cathedral and many train station buildings in Germany and Amsterdam.

    Hiking

    The reed sandstone, which is easy to work with, was often used in the past centuries to build houses, bridges, churches and for monumental buildings such as castles or palaces. Even today, reed sandstone is quarried in places and used as a building material for the renovation of historical buildings.

    Hiking

    The whole path through the former quarry is very beautiful and informative. However, after heavy rains the path can become very muddy.
