Museum in the Alte Schule

  • The museum in the “Alte Schule” in Efringen-Kirchen is a local history museum and showcases the distinctive features of the nine villages that make up Efringen-Kirchen, past and present.
  • The museum in the “Alte Schule” in Efringen-Kirchen explores jasper, the flint mined locally, and the lives of people in the Stone Age.

Quarry and remembrance

  • The Kapf Quarry Experience Trail offers a spectacular view into the active part of the Kapf quarry.
  • Nine new Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) commemorate women and men from the rural Jewish community in Kirchen.

Choose suitable accommodation

The quarry trail passes an active quarry; check opening times, trail conditions and safety rules. The Stolpersteine in Kirchen are memorial markers, not a leisure activity. When choosing a holiday apartment, check its exact location in relation to your intended destination and the terms of the specific offer.
