Here was operated from 1882 to about 1965 Quurzitsteinbruch. The quartzite produced millions of years ago was used for road construction. In 1909, the so-called godwax, which served as an urn in a Germanic tomb, was found here. The godwit is exhibited in the Roman-Germasnian Museum.GPS coordinates N50.830304 E7.186450

A narrow trail has emerged on the western slope above the lake.
In the "Ceiling Steen" area there are heaps, demolition sites and an old quarry shelter. The quartzite path in between is open to entry.

Quartzite stone was mined here from 1882 to around 1965. The quartzite, which was formed millions of years ago, was used for road construction.
