Hiking

In the marl quarry near Höver, the Nordcement company mines the basic material for cement. But the break is also a treasure trove for fossil hunters. Deposits from the Cretaceous period can be found here. Nordcement regularly opens the gates of the quarry on selected Sundays for fossil hunters and those who want to become one. Also great fun for families.
