    Hiking

    The tailings pile visible from the temple is rock salt. This is produced during the processing of raw salt from the potash mine and is transported to the dump by conveyor belt.
    Any other use is uneconomical due to the contaminants it contains.

    Hiking

    From this small hut, beautifully located on the outskirts of the village, you have a good view of Philippsthal and the imposing spoil heap of the potash mine opposite.
    As the little temple is easily accessible, it offers a good resting place for hikes, cycling and mountain bike tours.
