A quite imposing basalt wall that was uncovered by the quarrying of the basalt. You can see the individual basalt columns very nicely. A lake has formed in the quarry, which is a beautiful photo motif at any time of the year. Entry is free.

A beautifully landscaped park around the rocks of volcanic origin and basalt quarrying. Here you can see the shape of the basalt columns. The information boards are written in a way that is easy to understand. Entry is free and so is parking nearby.

Great photo opportunity and today a nature reserve. In the basalt park we are clearly informed about the origin and hard work of basalt mining and further processing on display boards. The park is open all year round and free of charge.

Many information boards explain the basalt mining in this area. The discarded locomotives that once pulled the lorries with the mined basalt are a great playground for children. The basalt park is highly recommended for families and anyone who wants to can do their laps in Bad Marienberg’s swimming stream, which is only about 300 m away.
