Tips
Stage 3:
Rangenwiese – artificial ditch
Passing the fishing ponds, it goes to the end of the Rangenwiese. To the right of an old linden tree you can see an artificial ditch in its original state. It was part of the mining dewatering in the Stedtfeld district and was led along the slope to the Rangenwiese. There he ended abruptly. One can see from the heaps of earth that there may have been a mining facility for ore processing here. It can be assumed that a stamp mill was operated here.translated by
