Hiking

The track quarry bears witness to the hard work in the quarry. But it also gives a glimpse of the unmistakable color of the Rochlitz porphyry, which is still quarried a short distance away.

Hiking

It's incredibly impressive where climbers show off their skills.
On the east side, the drop-off depths are marked with dates.

Hiking

A stripped-off quarry wall is a special eye-catcher in the Gleisbergbruch, which can be found behind the buildings. Even today, the years carved by the stonemasons can be clearly recognized by it. It can be clearly seen how many meters of porphyry have been laboriously mined and in what time. Next to the last year, 1947, is the name O. Dathe. Otto Dathe was a foreman in the Gleisbergbruch. With its very well-preserved quarry wall, the Gleisbergbruch is unique in its kind.
