In Grundlsee, in the district of Gössl, there is a lime kiln in which lime was last successfully burnt over 70 years ago. The limestone and the firewood to fire the kiln were felled in Grundlsee.
Over centuries it was also taken for granted that the material extracted nearby was processed directly there. Tho knowledge about lime burning has been lost over the decades and this workshop is intended to reacquire and pass it on. All intrested parties are cordially invited to takt part in the experience of burning lime. As the fire has to burn overnight, we are also looking for volunteers who would like to do a night shift.
