From the 8th century to the beginning of the 1950s, grinding or whetstone stones were used in this quarry, which were used in half of Europe. The rock (quartz-mica schist) was perfect as a whetstone for scythes and knives. The short climb from the road is worthwhile. From the Vest Telemark Museum also a hiking trail leads to the upper part of the quarry.
