    The "E" iron path begins near the southern end of the iron ore veins, at the so-called "Iron Gate". the pit water was derived and it also served to supply fresh air.Right next to the 'Iron Gate' there is a plaque that provides information about the history of iron mining near Imsbach.

        The Iron Gate can be found on the 5.5km long circular hiking trail "Eisenweg" in the woods around Imsbach.
