The hiking trail crosses the quarry. There are still old mossy stones lying around, and there is also a dilapidated former quarry building.

Quarkloch Cave

Highlight • Cave

According to legend, the Querkela lived in the Quarkloch. To this day, it is not clear whether the Quarkloch is a crevice in the rock or the beginning of a mining tunnel. The entrance is still clearly visible, but after five meters the cave is blocked by rubble and earth. There have been repeated attempts to uncover the cave, but this has not happened to date. The Quarkloch has managed to preserve its mystical existence.
