Hiking

The old colliery area. Nature has long since recaptured this, only if you look closely you can still see traces of the industrial past. Hassia coal was sold all over Germany. The colliery was connected to the old cannon railway, a railway line that has now also been closed. The old mine gate is located under the track bed.

Historical relic of lignite mining - Caution! Do not hit your head (helmet) - clearance height is limited.
