The former quarry at Gaudlitzberg illustrates the great importance of regional rock quarrying and is a popular destination in the Geopark Porphyrland. The geotope "Quarry on the Gaudlitzberg" is located about one kilometer south of Röcknitz. The summit of the 220 meter high Gaudlitzberg is covered with sand loess from the Ice Age. Climbing the crest by bike is not recommended. It's a very steep climb, the descent is no less difficult.

Once you've fought your way up 😉, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view. Awesome 🤩
For the descent, I recommend heading south and then west around the ravine.
The two straight southern sections are too extreme. (for me)
