An interesting collection of stones next to a dilapidated hut. The broken stone exhibits bowl-shaped depressions that were not caused by weathering. Excavations have uncovered quartzite tools. This suggests that Paleolithic people mined and prepared material for stone tools here.

It's a shame that the panoramic restaurant is no longer open.

From the viewpoint you can see as far as the Hercules in Kassel if the weather is good

Unfortunately, when I visited (September 2024), everything was overgrown. It's a real shame that it is no longer looked after.
