Collecting and access

Designated Muschelkalk rubble pile for hammering and collecting

The Geopark describes the quarry as about 1.5 km southwest of Königslutter and approximately a 15-minute walk from the Lutterspring parking area. Vehicle navigation is withheld because the reviewed source describes walking access rather than a drive-to collecting point.
