In the center of the abandoned pits, three smaller lakes with a total area of approximately 0.6 hectares were formed. These are so-called sky ponds, which have neither an inflow nor an outflow, and draw their water exclusively from rainfall and penetrating groundwater. The water is clear, low in nutrients and colored tea brown by needle litter. The slightly acidic water now offers the habitat for a species-rich fauna with fish such as rudd and crucian carp, frogs, toads, grass snakes, adder, countless insects, e.g. wild bees and dragonflies, but also rare breeding birds and some bat species and small mammals. The flora is home to diverse, rare sandy soil cultures as well as aquatic plants such. B. reeds and stately water lily carpets.

Wonderfully many and dark water holes that can be easily reached and still exude something scary.

Nature has reclaimed the old quarry. In the past this would have been a place for myths and legends
