    Old quarry, from which even today, stones for the Bamberg Cathedral are broken.

    Hiking

    If you look at the stones in the pictures and know the geology around them, then large sandstone blocks were (and are?) drilled out here.
    Perhaps these blocks were once transported by rail from Trebgast to Bamberg. This would explain the connection to the quarry, which is quite far from Bamberg.


    There are also several other sandstone quarries in Upper Franconia with famous customers.
