Mountain biking
Absolute natural highlight in the middle of the biosphere reserve core zone and the Gangolfsberg nature reserve. To protect nature, mountain biking in the core zone and the nature reserve is only permitted on marked MTB/cycle paths. Unfortunately, mountain biking is not permitted on the paths to the basalt prism wall, the old quarry and the neighboring Teufelskeller.
Please stick to it out of consideration for hikers and nature! - Rhön biosphere reserve

Hiking
Beautiful quarry, partly overgrown with moss, which makes the whole thing a bit slippery

Abandoned "Alter Steinbruch" basalt quarry, here with almost vertical basalt columns, east of the basalt prism wall.
