The information board reads: "Since the beginning of the 12th century, sandstone (predominantly middle sandstone) has been mined here, and many of Nuremberg's medieval buildings were built using material from this quarry."

Beautiful rock formation with traces of sandstone mining. The drill holes can be clearly seen. On the information board you can read that the sandstone has been here since the beginning of the 12th century. It is definitely worth seeing.
