Wernsbach quarries, an impressive rocky landscape.

Several small and narrow trails run through the landscape. Many views from different perspectives always provide beautiful photos. But be sure to look out …

Historic Quarries of Wernsbach

Highlight • Historical Site

Hike: Children should be aware of the dangers or not stray alone. It goes z.T. unsecured up to 10m vertically in the depth.
Those who are not deterred by this experience a geological gem in the forest.

Absolutely worth seeing but be careful, especially with children. Sometimes it goes many meters into the depth without any protection.
