    Hiking

    The former mining gallery can be found somewhat hidden about 20m from the main path. From 1769 to 1809 gold or other precious metals were not sought here, but so-called 'yellow chalk'. A fabric that was used to make colors.

    Except for a hole with an iron grating in front of it, not much can be seen of the tunnel today.

    The former tunnel is located a little off the path.
    Well explained but not accessible.

    Nice to see. The junction cannot be missed thanks to the information board. Small ravine leads up. There is a bench opposite on the path for a short break.
