These are old measuring towers from the quarry. The mud pond (as it's called by Eisborn residents, and the "Blue Lagoon" on social media) used to be in a different location, in this area where the small birch forest is today, and for whatever reason, the measuring towers were needed.

Who knows what the tower was used for?
I suspect in some way for the quarry.
