The quarry extends 40 meters in length and 20 meters in width, featuring extraction marks on steep walls at 500 meters above sea level.

From the 16th to 19th century, workers manually extracted sandstone from the Helvetic region to produce millstones for local grinding operations.

The site represents the technological advancement of Bavaria's milling industry through its preserved extraction techniques and geological formations.

Visitors need to obtain permission from the property owner before entering the quarry, which contains information panels explaining its geological significance.
