Best Hikes to Lime Kiln Neckarburken
Tips
Lime mortar was needed wherever buildings were not only made of wood, clay or dry stone walls, but also of connected masonry. Lime was also used for plastering and whitening the facades, for fertilizing and for many other areas. To do this, limestone had to be processed in special kilns.
