Due to (among other things) the closure of "Schwarze Wand" and "Zinkenberg" and the increased popularity of outdoor climbing, there have been access conflicts concerning the remaining quarries. Please behave considerately and respect local rules and restrictions to ensure that this area remains accessible!
