Limestone mining began at this location during the 19th century and the most intense period was the second half of the 19th century. Mining ceased in 1905.

Hiking
A little fairytale-like, between the jagged rock crevices, the mossy walls, and the ponds. An idyllic place with birdsong and croaking frogs.
The mine was operated in the 17th and 18th centuries to extract limestone. Usually in winter, as only then could the loaded sleds with cattle be pulled through the forest.
Dates and initials of the miners can be seen on the rock walls.
