    Here at 308 m above sea level you are on the Hilgersberg. Special material was broken here. The basalt quarry at Hilgersberg also supplied material for the construction of the railway line. This basalt is well suited for ballast of railroad tracks.
    Today there is a barbecue hut here and there are enough seats available for the break.
