Buchental Quarry – On the Trail of the Green Hell
Highlight • Historical Site
Here, in 1926, large amounts of rock were processed into stone in quarrying plants for the construction of the Nürburgring and transported to the construction sites with trucks. Back then, the rail network on which steam-powered locomotives moved these trucks was almost 50 kilometers long.
