Tips from the Community

Karin&Joerg

The facility is located in a former quarry near the Sosa dam. Today it serves as a destination to experience this ancient craft up close. On-site, there is a charcoal maker's snack bar, designed in the style of a historic charcoal hut. A charcoal maker is an artificially piled heap of wood used to produce charcoal.
