For many years, the Weisenau quarry was used to extract limestone for cement production. The area is now undergoing renaturation and serves as a local recreation area. Paths have been laid out, trees and shrubs planted, biotopes created, benches and litter bins installed, and safety and information boards erected. After more than 150 years of limestone quarrying, the quarry has been given a new purpose: nature and people. The Weisenau quarry site has gradually been given a completely new look – from an industrial area to a new destination for excursions, offering interesting information about geology, geological development, the economic use of limestone as a raw material, and the current flora and fauna.

Admission is via the new entrances from Höhenweg. Please follow the signs. As parking spaces are limited, visitors are requested to use public transportation.
