Tips

Chasseur de Cols

January 21, 2023

From the former Munzinger limestone quarry "Oberes Steingrüble" only the rear 20 m high quarrying wall with numerous crevices and caves remains. For the "Erzknappenlochhöhle" (approx. 2 m high and 8 m deep) a Neolithic settlement is assumed based on flint finds.
The 13,000 square meter quarry has been a natural monument since 1979. The open rock face offers a habitat for a special flora and fauna: a pair of kestrels has had its eyrie here for years. Pipistrelle and serotine bats find winter quarters here.
Lizards, insects and spiders colonize the sun-warmed steep face. Mosses and lichens form the rather inconspicuous flora.
