Old Lime Kilns of Kaltofen

Kaldovene was first mentioned in a document in 1297. Two citizens from Freiberg had bought the cold furnace they had been given from the knight Ulrich von Maltitz in Arnsdorf, who had got into financial difficulties, and transferred it to the Altzella monastery. Ernst Eichler and Hans Walther interpret the place name Kaldovevene as follows: "Probably a settlement at the furnace, which is no longer in operation".
The assumption that it could have been a lime kiln is obvious. At least two small limestone deposits were also discovered in Arnsdorf. Remnants of a younger stove can still be seen. Maltitz, so one might assume, was not dependent on the lime from the cold kiln, had the mining stopped and the kiln "went out".As early as the 12th century, local limestone deposits were mined in Kaltofen, probably also back then in the neighboring communities of Arnsdorf and Berbersdorf, and processed into quicklime. In 1840 ten kilns were in operation in Berbersdorf alone.
Decaying remains of two ovens can still be seen. Source: dewiki.de/Lexikon/Kaltofen_(Striegistal)

Lime was mined here and immediately burned.

You should definitely see it on the hike.
