Open day at the Freital-Wurgwitz stone quarry

Eiffage Infra-Rohstoffe GmbH is organising an open day at the Freital-Wurgwitz stone quarry together with its long-standing partner - GEOPARK Sachsen Mitte e. V.

22 April 2023 is the official "Earth Day" and on this occasion, Eiffage Infra-Rohstoffe GmbH and GEOPARK Sachsen Mitte e. V. are presenting the andesite quarry in Freital-Wurgwitz to interested members of the public as part of an open day. On this day, we will show how the extraction of an important raw material for track and road construction can be reconciled with the careful treatment of our natural environment.
The event begins at 11:00 a.m. with a short introduction.
Prominent representatives from politics and business have been invited - and of course you too.
Peter Kretzschmar from the Heimatverein Wurgwitz e. V. will be taking part from 10:00 a.m. at the Wurgwitz town hall. V. at the Wurgwitz town hall, Pesterwitzer Straße 21, will take hikers on a tour towards the quarry.
