The whole family will get their money's worth on the stone adventure trail (note the gravel paths). Several hands-on stations for the kids, 360° panorama, insights into the mine and a cozy beer garden.

Zeilberg Basalt Quarry

Highlight • Structure

The Bastaltabbau on the Zeilberg at Maroldsweisach attracts many visitors who want to see the extraction of volcanic eruption rock with their own eyes. On an additional eight hectares and up to 310 meters in depth (60 meters lower than at present), the opencast mine will be expanded in the next few years, a gigantic project. Every year, the Basalt Actien Company excavates up to 900,000 tonnes of rock in its volcanic crater.

At the end of the adventure trail, you go to the …

Bravely and braving the heat, we went up and around the Zeilberg today🥵🥾🥾 But there were also plenty of shady areas and comfortable benches that invited us to take a break. Enjoyed a bit of cool air in the church and then it was back home. Yep, enjoyed another lovely tour together with my @bbhexe💙💛 😉👍
