The Dietesheim quarries

A popular destination in Dietesheim form the former basalt quarries, today an attractive recreational area.
After the end of the basalt mining in 1982, an impressive lake landscape of more than 61 hectares was created here, of which approximately 22.5 hectares of deep blue water surface. In addition to the largest lakes, the Vogelsberg Lake and the Oberwaldsee, the charming landscape is complemented by a series of smaller lakes. High cliffs can be admired as bizarre rock formations that are unique in the Rhine-Main region.

View of Vogelsberger See and Canyon Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

After the end of basalt mining in the 1980s, a lake landscape with a total area of over 60 hectares, including around 20 hectares of water surface, was created between Steinheim and Dietesheim. The absolute highlight is the narrow bridge at a dizzying height between the largest lakes, Vogelsberger See and Oberwaldsee. And one more request: To protect the flora and fauna, please stay on the paths in the Oberwaldsee nature reserve.
