    There are two beautiful caves to admire here.
    Above them is the Bastei viewing point with the Trompeterfelsen.

    The white sand extracted from the caves was used as grit in the living rooms of the Middle Ages and was later used industrially.

    Fine sand was recovered here earlier, for cleaning wooden floorboards and later for porcelain production.
