    The inscription on the plate says:

    Whetstonequarry

    This whetstone quarry was in operation until 1930. The here mined whetstones were exported in the middle ages up to Spain.

    The quarry was known already in the 5th to 1th century B.C. - as documented by findings in the ancient celtic settlement on the “Kleinen Gleichberg” near Römhild.

    I wouldn't mind trying one, or even a Mercedes Benz or a Ferrari, but my bank balance says I'm going to have to stick with my 2005 Ford Focus ........

    Very familiar scenario. Hone with a big name and the quarry itself is just minute.
