Embark on a fascinating journey through 300 million years of Earth's history. The Piesberg quarry is not just a hole in the ground; it is a monumental palimpsest in which ancient tropical coal swamps, the brutal industrial ambition of the 19th century, and the modern ecological reclamation are written over one another. Join us as we hike along the edge of a huge, active quarry, splitting stones to find ancient fossils, and discover how nature is reclaiming the scars of human extraction in a striking way.
