The Siegerland Mining Association has put up interesting information boards along the way, on which you can learn a lot about the history of local mining, such as how the ore was mined. In addition, they have reconstructed some tunnel mouths and made them accessible again for a few meters.👍

A worthwhile piece of Siegerland's local history about the "hunt for iron ore" in old mining. 3 tunnels are illuminated with light after entering and pressing the button. Unfortunately, this no longer works in 2 tunnels. It is advisable to take a small, powerful LED flashlight with you if you plan to walk this route. It is definitely worth seeing and offers beautiful views beyond the tunnels.
