Granite quarries on Kleiner Kornberg mountain, closed in 1988.
Located 1.5 km NW of Niederlamitz and about 11 km NE of Weißenstadt.
In the area around ( Niederlamitz, Schieda, Dörflas) a lot of quartz veins. From time to time during agricultural or construction works are opportunities to find nice quartz specimen.
