    Tips

    In view of what some of our ancestors did in these old quarries, I sometimes find them interesting. When I was there, the tunnel was full of water. But I assume that this is the case most of the time, except maybe in particularly warm and dry summers. In any case, I agree with Horst - it's not completely safe to climb around in these old tunnels - especially in spring when the weather thaws, smaller or larger parts can come loose here from time to time. If you would like to look at hexagonal basalt columns, you should rather go to the Druidenstein. Very impressive and absolutely harmless.
