The Huppenweiher pond has an interesting history. It is not actually natural, but rather arose from the mining pit where the so-called Huppererde was mined from the 17th century onwards. Huppererde is a white fireproof clay that was suitable as a melting pot and was used in furnace construction. At that time, most of the earth was exported to France, Germany and Genoa/Venice, where chimney stones were made to line fireboxes. These were used in blast furnaces, glass furnaces and cannon foundries, for example.
The mining continued until the end of the 1940s.

In summer it is difficult to identify the 'driveway' in the uppermost part of a freshly mown meadow. After a few meters along the edge of the forest, however, the trail increasingly peels out of the green. The trail can actually be 'speeded', with a very steep end.

Totally overgrown in autumn and barely visible! Maybe more in spring / summer visits!
