Hiking

The mining property was awarded to the shoemaker Carl Jakob Schneider zu Wilnsdorf on April 7th, 1886 - naming "Jacobssegen". Size of the mutation field: 109,259.4 square meters for the extraction of iron ore. The hoped-for success did not materialize, however, as the mining of the small quantities of ore was unprofitable. Closure of the mine on November 13th, 1886

Interesting station on the miners' path. Lots of information about the history of the pits in Siegerland.
