Former stone sawmill and lorry track

Highlight • Monument

The building and equipment of the eponymous stone sawmill were originally located on the grounds of the "Alte Steinsäge" (Old Stone Sawmill) Technical Collection. Thanks to the diligent work of Andreas Bartsch (steinbruchfuehrungen.de) and other volunteers, several relics from the old quarry days have been collected, creating an impressive exhibition on the grounds of the old stone sawmill.

Sandstone Waymarkers on the Steinbruchpfad

Highlight • Monument

This funny sandstone signpost shows you where to go on the quarry path. The quarry path itself leads you to various stations along the former Wehlen quarry.
