    White sandstone was mined here in the past. In contrast to the better known red sandstone, this variety consists of mica and feldspar and therefore gives it the white color.

    The white quarry Eichenberg has been shut down for many decades and has meanwhile been "reclaimed" by nature. Due to the heavy vegetation, not much of the "white wall" can be seen. The white sandstone mined there consists to a large extent of mica minerals and feldspar. Today a beautiful trail (S0) leads past here (for mountain bikers) and a European cultural trail for hikers. I had the "spot" on the list for a long time, but only came by here on a small detour in September 2020.
