The quarry "Firstensteinbruch" for granite, which was operated until the 1970s, has spectacular rock faces that challenge one or two climbers. The circular route offers a kind of open-air museum with old rail vehicles and dilapidated buildings and a restaurant on the Hochstein with viewing platform.

It is a very nice quarry. In some places there are still old rails. And it is a very nice sight

You can move around freely and take a break here, and there are also climbing opportunities. The Firstensteinbruch is one of the most beautiful quarries I've ever been to! 💯🙏
