There are countless lime kilns in Mallorca. You encounter them on every hike through forests. The lime distillery used to be one of the most important economic sectors in Mallorca.

In Mallorca, the construction of lime kilns, in which limestone was originally accumulated for the production of lime, is a tradition.
The stones were heated for ten to twelve days at 1000 or 1200 ° C. Wood was used as fuel. These ovens can be found in different places in the Serra de Tramuntana.
A long time ago lime was one of the most important materials, especially with lime being built and the houses were whitewashed with it.

If you walk in Mallorca you should think that every Mallorcan ran a lime kiln in the last millennium. The stoves can be found in the mountains on almost every hiking trail.

Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand what it was for. There was nothing written on it except the name Kalkofen...
