    Hiking

    Near the mouth of the mine there is a tunnel in which quartzite was mined. This rock was used in the Meissen porcelain factory to make glaze.
    Above the mouth of the mine there is a memorial plaque commemorating the main builders of the artificial canal: chief driver ERNST VON WARNSDORF (Ob. Ef E v. W.), chief foreman AUGUST JOBST (Ostg. A.J.), machine operator GOTTFRIED BEIER (Mstg. G.B.)

    After a few hundred meters through the forest, a little off the Bobritzsch, the hiking trail and the artificial ditch, which is very well preserved here, reach the upper mouth of the 150-meter-long porcelain rock rose. On the right side of the Röschenmundloch there is a small cave that was created by quartzite mining. Apparently opportunity makes not only thieves but also miners, because this cave was created almost incidentally during the construction of the Rösche to win quartzite for porcelain production.
