    Experience point 2 - PINGEN - GATES IN THE EARTH

    Theme route: Mining on the Kahlenberg

    The short route (1.6 km) shows the central importance of the forests in life
    of the population.
    The long route (7.5 km) leads past old open-cast mines and quarries,
    that give an idea of the extent and economic importance
    the iron industry must have had here once. There are also impressive views of the cities of Warstein and Hirschberg.
