The scenery at "Look into the Hole" is so unreal and fascinating at the same time. The crystal clear, green-blue water of the quarry lake reminds me of mountain lakes in the Alps, which are also located in a bare landscape, at the same time there is a brutally torn hole in an injured landscape with a wonderful view. And during the week there is real action there - obviously including explosions - for which there is a sheet steel protective shelter. Definitely look and experience!

Not only does the small lookout tower have a great view into the quarry, the view towards the Taunus is also magnificent.
