Directly opposite the Schnepfenbusch information board (luck on the bike path) are two interesting and partly forgotten structures of the former Schnepfenbusch mine.
On the one hand there is the former transformer house located directly on the L3250 "Triesch" road and the former fire extinguishing pond with diving tower and ladder about 100 meters to the southwest.
Two dilapidated, charming, mystical and at the same time characterized by historical mining and dark war history.
The fire-fighting pond was used by the miners as a bathing area.
However, especially in the war years, a dark and cruel story is hidden in these places. If you want to deepen this, I recommend looking on the Internet for "Forced labor at the Kurhessische Kupferschieferbergbau Sontra 1940 - 1945 by Jürgen Raabe", which illuminates this time and history very intensively and informatively.

The “Glückauf” training workshop was established on Schnepfenbusch around 1953. In the summer months, the fire-fighting pond across the street was used as a swimming pool. I'll attach a historical photo.
