The Bezenberg Quarry Loop offers unexpected surprises along the way, making for an entertaining and enjoyable hike. From the idyllic wetland habitat to striking quarry stones and impressive sequoias, right on to the still-active sandstone quarry, there’s plenty to discover here—the loop offers a varied blend of nature and history.
The view of the active quarry is fascinating, offering a glimpse into the region’s traditional sandstone mining. The imposing giant sequoias, which seem out of place in the local landscape, are also worth a closer look and are sure to amaze you.
About halfway along the route, a log cabin offers a cozy spot to rest and have a barbecue. A second opportunity to linger is at the striking sequoia or right at the trailhead at the Braunäcker parking lot, where the loop is also well-suited for a short break.
