Traces of mining can still be found in the Gerichtswald forest and also in the fields, although none of them were particularly productive. Of interest is the Hauloch above Hof Eich, where a Zechstein layer with mica schist was excavated in open-cast mining, stretching from Geiselbach to Geislitz.

The Hauloch, traces of old mining:

Not very successful, the mining attempts in the lentil dish, of which the Hauloch still tells stories today.
A place we often visit in childhood 🙂🙂🙂
