    Eschenau, loading bridge and ore loading station
    In the Kerkerbachtal north-east of Eschenau, mining in the Eisensegen mine was (again) started as the ore mining was intensified by the National Socialist government. The preserved tunnel mouth bore the mining symbol mallet and iron and the inscription "Eisensegen 1937" over the tunnel entrance. From the mouth hole, the mine railway ran over the foothills to the left of the Kerkerbach and the Kerkerbach, which was presumably, like the meadow, crossed over to the Kerkerbachbahn route on a wooden loading bridge. The double row of bridge foundations has been preserved in the meadow ground.

      Iron ore and red iron ore were already being mined in the Eisensegen pit and was the largest pit with reel shafts, blind tunnels, opencast mining and a cable car. This tunnel was only built in 1937.
      Stone pillars on the Aue testify to bridge pillars of the mine railway.
