Basalt quarrie Kloech, Stone quarry in Klöch, Austria
The basalt quarry extends across 400,000 square meters of land, featuring dark volcanic rock formations at an elevation of 270 meters above sea level.
The industrial extraction of basalt in Klöch began several decades ago, establishing a foundation for regional construction material supply and economic development.
The quarry represents a central element in the industrial heritage of Styria, connecting the local community to geological resources through generations of workers.
The quarry operates under strict safety protocols, with designated viewing areas and specific routes for both operational vehicles and authorized personnel.
The site contains specific crystalline structures within its basalt deposits, formed through particular cooling processes of ancient volcanic activities.
