Particularly pure limestone is mined here - action in an active quarry!

The Elggis has been a valuable mining site for limestone since 1900. Today the "Chalchi" is the only producer of white lime in Switzerland. The particularly pure limestone is heated to 1100 degrees and processed into burnt lime.
