Millstone Cave at Rother Kopf

Highlight • Cave

It is unbelievable under what conditions people mined millstones here in the Middle Ages. The porous volcanic rock is popular because it does not become smooth when it is ground, but remains sharp-edged.

At the highest point of the quarry you can look 140 m down. This steep wall allows a view of stone layers that are millions of years old.
