The Piesberg is the geological "heart" of the TERRA.vita Nature and Geopark. Several circular trails lead around the quarry, and viewing platforms offer magnificent views. Germany's largest hard rock quarry looks back on a 300-million-year history that has shaped it into what it is today.The Piesberg is just one of the exciting stops in Germany's first themed nature park. The TERRA.vita Nature and Geopark covers an area of 1,550 square kilometers. Learn more about its formation at the Visitor and Information Center in Osnabrück – or simply set out and discover nature on your hikes.
