Guided Story
Standing here at Lasbeck Quarry, you're in a place where up to 900,000 tons of greywacke are extracted every year. This valuable stone comes from the Honseler strata of the Upper Middle Devonian. Look around, and you'll see the quarry nestled in the valley of the Lasbecker Bach. Managed by Eurovia and Kemna Bau, the extracted material is transported away by heavy trucks. It’s intriguing to witness how this site merges industrial activity with the surrounding natural landscape. If you look southeast, the natural landmark Klief is about 997 meters away.
