Plettenberg Quarry Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Absolutely worth seeing quarry with viewing platform. Limestone from the White Jura is blasted out of the mountain here, crushed and brought down to the valley with the 2.3 km long cable car for cement production.

Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. Snow and ice constantly changed with the sun and spring-like temperatures. The beer of the day
or the first was a

You should also wear …
