    Hiking

    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.
