    The former quarry features medium-grained granodiorite with partially planar mineral alignment. The granodiorite contains sharply defined xenoliths of various other rocks: e.g. biotite plagioclase banded gneiss, potassium feldspar megacrysts, quartz mica diorite. The inclusions are partially rotated. The quarry is part of the Pilgramsberg adventure trail. (Panel "Geological Corner" with explanations on granite and gneiss).
