Mountain biking

The observation tower visible today on the Christianshütte was built around 1900 by the Kerkerbachbahn-AG, which bought the Christianshütte from the Buderus company in the 1880s and moved its headquarters from Limburg to the Christianshütte. The main purpose of the railway was to transport raw materials such as clay and iron ore from the Kerkerbach valley to Kerkerbach, where they were loaded onto the Lahntalbahn. In addition, the Christianshütte was expanded into a tourist destination, with a restaurant, a bowling alley, a guest house with a dining hall and the observation tower.

an old ironworks where a blast furnace once stood
and this small place supplied a large industry during the heyday of the Kerkerbach railway
