The quarry itself is a habitat for the eagle owl and the rare natterjack toad and is kept open by grazing goats. Passing the open-air archaeological museum, you reach the ridge path of the Tönsberg (334 m above sea level) with the Kumsttonne, the landmark of the mining town of Oerlinghausen, visible from afar. The mill from 1753 lost its wings in a storm and remained standing on the mountain in this condition.
