DescriptionHere is an amazing gravel rock quarry playground that is located just across the border in Wiel am Rhein. It is a 1600 sqft play area with Gravel factory and tube slide. Inside you will find an amazing array of mechanical tools for scooping, loading, transporting, lifting and sorting gravel. What a wonderful place for children to manipulate these large scale mechanisms and imagine they are workers in a quarry. It is located in Wiel am Rhein less than a 10 minute bike ride past Lange Erlen or by train (10 minute walk Gartenstadt) or bus (20 min walk from Laguna). We cannot wait to check it out for ourselves. Along with the gravel rock quarry there are lovely lawns for picnics. It is situated next door to an interesting art space "kunstraum kieswerk" which was the first pre-mixed concrete factory in the Basel region and now has been converted into a arrt/event space.
