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.

Striking sign on the quarry path. A hand with all fingers has been very well carved out of the sandstone.
