The Königshain Hills (Upper Sorbian: Limas) are located in the eastern part of Upper Lusatia, west of the city of Görlitz in the Görlitz district. They lie north and south of the municipality of Königshain, from which they take their name, and comprise an extensive, approximately 50 km² area of mostly forested granite. The main elevations are the Kämpferberge (415 m above sea level) in the south, culminating at the Ahlberg, the well-known Hochstein (397.2 m above sea level) in the north, and the Hutberg in the (south)west. ``` View of the Königshain Hills Quarry lake in the Königshain Hills In the natural regional classification of Saxony, they are assigned to the macrogeochore Eastern Upper Lusatia (11), the mesogeochore Königshain Hills and Mountains (11013), and the two microgeochore Kämpferberg Ridge (including Hochstein) and Eichberg-Hutberg Ridge.[1] The entire Königshain Hills have been a protected landscape area since 1974. A bird sanctuary is located in part (Elysium) of the former Firsten quarry. https://de.wikipedia.org

Super beautiful quarry, which reminds us of the mining through historical equipment and buildings that are now dilapidated.
