Hiking

In the quarry Asbeck limestone is mined. The path leads to the Grubensee, affectionately called the blue lagoon of Menden. It is about premises, the access is life-threatening on working days, because on the one hand heavy equipment is on the way, on the other hand is sometimes blown up.

Visit the quarry best on weekends from Saturday noon or on Sundays and public holidays. The quarry is still in operation.
