Hiking

The Vatter quarry is much less visited than the Leferenz quarry. If, like now, you can only look inside from the outside, this is a very interesting alternative!
The path down to the village (partly along the fence) is quite exciting.

Hiking

Here, porphyry was mined earlier. Time has left its mark.
