Wernsbach Quarry

Highlight • Structure

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.
