Greywacke has been quarried in the Bergisches Land region for centuries. The unique rock's uses range from gravel for road construction to high-quality materials in modern kitchen design. Its extraction has significantly shaped the history and culture of the Bergisches Land.

Enjoy an extraordinary glimpse into a rock that you often encounter unnoticed in everyday life and whose extraction usually takes place "in secret".
