Musital quarry
Description
The Musital lies in the middle of an extensive, sparsely dissected landscape of woodland, farmland and meadows. Thanks to its location between the Rhine plain and the Table Jura, the area is doubly rich in forms, types of vegetation and habitats.
The Musital limestone and marl quarry in the Aargau Table Jura is exceptionally young. After just over 25 years of extraction by Holcim Schweiz AG, it was closed down again in 1997. The task of finalising the design of the disused quarry presented a particular challenge. The resulting mosaic of structures and habitats leaves room for natural development, but at the same time takes into account the various utilisation and protection aspects of the landscape, thus creating a unique landscape experience.There are beautiful, mostly very large rock outcrops here, the like of which cannot be found anywhere else in the immediate and wider surroundings of Rekingen.
Opening Hours
The Musital quarry can be visited all year round.
