    Tips

    As a volcanic dome, the Dächelsberg looks back on a fiery past. Here at the quarry, its basalt core was mined for around 100 years. The observation tower offers a wonderful view of the former dismantling wall. A panorama board reveals interesting details about the rocks, habitats and inhabitants of the old quarry.
    Today the area is a nature reserve and may only be entered for the necessary tree and meadow pruning. This means that the view remains unobstructed and the heat-loving plants and animals get enough sun.
    The Dächelsberg circuit around the village of Oberbachem that begins here also promises plenty of sun.
