    I can recommend the explanation of the quarry; the quarry itself is well secured, so the structures are barely visible.

    Hiking

    The name of the quarry "Wagen Schmier" is probably derived from the events on the former long-distance trade route, after which the wagons and carts sank into the loamy loose rock. From the 19th century, this material was quarried at this point.

    The hiking trails climb quite steeply up the side of the quarry. It can also get slippery here. Caution is advised here, especially in winter.
