Tips

May 2, 2019

Mountain biking

The Bastaltabbau on the Zeilberg at Maroldsweisach attracts many visitors who want to see the extraction of volcanic eruption rock with their own eyes. On an additional eight hectares and up to 310 meters in depth (60 meters lower than at present), the opencast mine will be expanded in the next few years, a gigantic project. Every year, the Basalt Actien Company excavates up to 900,000 tonnes of rock in its volcanic crater.

The Stein adventure trail around the Zeilberg near Maroldsweisach provides information and sensory experiences on the topics of stone working and animals and plants in the quarry on several stations along a 4 kilometer long route - especially recommended for children!
