Hiking

The former quarry is now a natural monument and protected area. The wetlands on the floor are habitats for, among others, common toads, grass frogs, and fire salamanders. But rock piles, crevices and fissures in the rocks, and many other habitats also demonstrate the area's worth of protection. The steep walls reveal evidence of Baden-Württemberg stone quarrying. It is the rule, not the exception, that valuable secondhand habitats often emerge from former interventions in nature. (Geotour Malsch brochure)
