Hesborn quarry

Visit the Hesborn quarry, a fascinating excursion destination in the Sauerland region that combines history and geology. Created over 100 years ago, this site provided the robust limestone for many historic houses in the region. Today, an idyllic recreational area with a cozy refuge awaits you here, which is perfect for a relaxing break. Geologically, the quarry is a real highlight: marvel at the 320-million-year-old "Kulm-Kieselkalke" limestone. You can even discover fine traces of ancient volcanic ash between the hard layers of rock. When hiking in Hesborn, don't miss out on a stop at this exciting station on the Geo-Experience Route around Hallenberg and Medebach.
