Best Hikes to Old Quarry Measuring Towers
Tips
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.
