The traditional lime kilns: While hiking in Mallorca, you'll repeatedly come across ancient stone relics: the so-called Forns de Calç, traditional lime kilns. These fascinating structures bear witness to the centuries-old lime-burning tradition on the island and tell a great deal about the hard life of the people in earlier times.

The traditional lime kilns (Forn de Calç) from the 19th century are found predominantly in holm oak forests. During the lime production process, the limestone was heated to temperatures of 900–1000°C, and wood was continually added during this phase. Holm oak is an ideal wood for this. Since the process could take up to two weeks, dwellings where the workers lived can also be found near the lime kilns. mittelmeerperle.de/forns-de-calc-kalkoefen
