This pit was built as early as 1839. There is a circular path around Stockheim and Neubau on which you can follow the traces of mining.

It was created in 1839 but closed again in 1911 like many other mines here. After the First World War, another shaft was dug, but only operated until 1931. Today only the slag heap is recognizable.

When hiking with children, we recommend a detour to the fallow deer enclosure, which is somewhat hidden behind a farmstead. The friendly owners allow visits upon request.
