Information

Gruszka Quarry is one of the inactive excavations of Wojcieszów limestone
the name of the quarry comes from the name of the former owners, the Gruschek brothers
in several quarries in Wojcieszów marble was mined, which adorns to this day the great buildings of Berlin built before World War II
from the city center (near the Office and Post Office) there is a marked educational path
at the bottom of the excavation there is a slightly neglected rest area with benches and a roof, it is also possible to make a bonfire
for many years the quarry was inhabited by Robert the Goat – a feral male domestic goat, who could often be found neatly jumping on the ledges. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been seen in a while.
nearby are also the ruins of the Gallows
