The flooded Westbruch is also a well-known destination for divers. The unique underwater landscape of the former quarry makes the lake an interesting diving area.

The mountain church sits impressively on a rocky spur above the former quarry. The combination of the historic church building, steep rock faces, and the quarry lake makes this place a special photo opportunity.
