    Limestone kiln - a piece of history you can touch

      Sometimes you wonder what "stands" in the middle of the forest, but behind the stove was a limestone quarry that you just can't see because it's forested again.

        Along the Düssel between Bracken and Winkelsmühle is the former Huppertsbracken lime kiln (it was reconstructed and built in 1985/1986), in which the broken lime was burned for centuries. Due to the abundant limestone deposits and their mining, the skeletal remains of the Neanderthal man (Homo neanderthalensis) were discovered, which made the Neanderthal valley world famous.
