Tips from the Community
"Rosengarten" Limestone Quarries Nature Reserve The former 12-hectare limestone quarry is a protected area and a first-class geological treasure trove, providing insight into its developmental history. Until 1959, the workers here earned their daily bread as "stone crushers." Using powder, the rocks were blasted and then crushed by hand. The limestone was then fired in two circular kilns located at the train station, and the lime was transported by freight cars. The stone material was transported from the quarries to the kiln via railway tracks, along which horse-drawn wagons ran. Since its closure, a unique flora and fauna have taken root here. In particular, a very rare dry grassland with its unique plant diversity. In spring, it's a true delight, as it buzzes and hums everywhere. My recommendation: find the back entrance and work everything out yourself from above; then exit through the exit below and look back. (Caution: Danger of falling, as nothing is secured here!)

The Teutonic Order of Ober-Flörsheim existed from 1237 until the end of the 18th century; the Otterberg monastery was wealthy locally. Over 550 years of the Teutonic Order of Knights and even today you can always see clues when walking through the town. Today's local history museum in the community center is the former manor house in the Commentary and is easy to find when you visit the “Kommenturei” street. There is also more information on the topic on a board in the courtyard.

Is everything a bit dangerous here? There is also a warning sign at the underpass, so it is better to use the official crossing.
