The partly flooded, abandoned limestone quarry is an attractive place for ramblers and adventurers. Its specific look really resembles the mood of Wild West. Mining was conducted in an unusual way, by gradual digging of a huge pit (about 800m long, 200m wide and 100m deep), connected to other quarries by long tunnels from the first half of the 20th century. There is a modern memorial to the victims of communist labor camps established in local hard conditions, on the western edge of the quarry. A marked tourist path with several vistas goes along the perimeter of the quarry.
