Former Roman quarry from around 200 AD
Many display boards provide information on site about this cultural and historical highlight.

Due to the proximity to the city and the good view, you will meet many day-trippers here on weekends. There is another (and more beautiful) view from the refuge above.

In contrast to the (red) quarries in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, sandstone on the Haardt edge is white and yellow!

Many of the inscriptions/pictures that can be found on the walls are explained on a beautiful information board and marked with red arrows on the walls of the quarry. Horse pictures are particularly easy to recognize. These rock paintings come from the Roman legionnaires who worked in the quarry here.

Also carved into the stone: a large memorial plaque for the Bad Dürkheim soldiers who died in World War I and all their names.

Absolutely go up too. From there you have a good view of Bad Dürkheim.
