    The Hohbirker Kunstgraben (also: Hohe Birke Kunstgraben and Hochbirkner Kunstgraben) is an Erzgebirge artificial ditch from the 16th century. He fed impact water from Brand-Erbisdorf to the pits on the Hohbirker Gangzug in the Freiberg district of Zug.

        In some places still covered with wooden shingles. This is how it looked original.
