Hiking
The north of the district is characterized by the renatured Schlupkothen quarry, in which more than 45 million tons of limestone were mined from 1898 to 1960. The 33.37 hectare, water-filled quarry, which has been surrounded by a circular hiking trail with viewing platforms since 2003, has been designated as a nature reserve since 1984 because of its special importance as a reptile and amphibian area. Protection ends automatically when the limestone quarry is managed again.
