    The Silberkaule mine, located on the Heckberg, was already mining lead and silver in the 13th century. The industrial enterprise started in 1868 was discontinued in 1892 because of an impoverishment of the ore mine.

      You can walk around it, but you shouldn't go inside. The paths around it are a bit muddy at the moment.
