On the hiking trail through the G'steinigt nature reserve is the silver spring, which was found in 1919. It is reminiscent of mining in the Arzberg iron ore district. At the silver spring, a 100 meter long tunnel was driven into the rock in 1863, which was to serve for the drainage of the mine water from the Morgenstern shaft. Remains of a wheel room, a landing wall for ore barges and a natural weir go back to this time. The tunnel mouth hole has been open to visitors since 2009.
