Hiking
Before the Siebengebirge became North Rhine-Westphalia's first nature park in 1958, it experienced very different times. For many years, the volcanic rock was highly sought after as a building material in the local area and further afield and was therefore exploited accordingly. The quarry seen here is evidence of this past.
