    Hiking

    The Wagnersgrube is a former bog iron ore mine. Today, it's an idyllic biotope where nature has reclaimed its space. Surrounded by rare vegetation, the mine offers an exciting blend of geology and history—the bog iron ore mined here is a pea- or bean-shaped concretions of lignite ore. 🫘🌿

    The Wagner mine is due to ore mining. This ore was already mined here in Roman times. It was smelted in Heidenheim and Königsbronn.
    Various seating areas and tables invite you to take a break. However, it is relatively noisy here because the motorway passes by in the immediate vicinity.

    A very beautiful biotope. It is a pleasure to see how flora and fauna are regaining their habitat.
