A place with a very checkered history: First, a Roman estate with the usual agricultural use was at home here. Iron ore was later discovered in the area and the former manor was used for smelting the ore. But this industrial epoch lasted only for a short time, after 15-20 years the ore deposits were exhausted. A few display boards in the site complex clearly explain the respective stations on the short circular route in text and pictures.
