Rugged landscape on the archipelago island Malmön, partly drawn by the degradation of granite rock. Hikers have immortalized themselves through interesting sculptures and cairns.

Stone quarrying started in Malmön in 1842. First, the mining of large rough stone was started. The largest stones had a volume of 11 x 0.8 x 0.5m = 4.4 cubic meters with a weight of 4.4 x 2.7 = about 12 tons. A while later, the so-called "Feinstein" was mined. After the turn of the century, it was moved to promote stone material for road construction in the form of curbs and cobblestones. 1941, the quarry was set to Malmön.
