The church quarry is one of several stations along the six-kilometer Geological Circuit. Information boards explain more about the nature of the earth in the region at the respective points.

Church Quarry - Intricate Sandstones
The quarry is one of four quarries on the “Düdinghausen Geological Circular Trail” and a window into the history of the earth. Here you can learn what wrap layering is. If you look closely at the rock, you can see the typical winding structures in the sandstones from the Upper Devonian period.
You will find the church quarry above the village of Düdinghausen in the direction of Usseln. You can reach the quarry on foot after approx. 800m from the car park on the L854. Alternatively, from the town center via a steep path uphill.
