It is a disused basalt quarry, which is located between Bad Marienberg and Nisterau directly on the Black Nister, an inlet of the large Nister. The name is derived from the formerly independent place Bach, which is now part of the municipality of Nisterau; Lay in this case means quarry. The area extends in parts over the districts of Bad Marienberg, Bach, Eichenstruth and Stockhausen-Illfurth.

The Bacher Lay is characterized by a mighty, almost vertical basalt stone wall, which was created by the earlier basalt mining. The nearby "Pfaffenmal", an 18-meter-high columnar basalt cone in the construction of a mile, is also worth seeing. (Source Wickipedia)

The place is really great and the bike path is just very nice. Just check it out for yourself !!

View of Stockhausen-Illfurth

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view goes over Stockhausen-Illfurth.
The paths in the forest are unknown to Komoot, because nobody cares for the maps of the area at OSM.
