Hiking

Station 3 of the “Archaeological Hiking Trail” at Eisenberg. There are some “iron ponds” here on the eastern slope of the Krötenkuppe. They mainly come from late medieval iron ore mining in the 15th and 16th centuries. Century and modern alum extraction from the 17th century.

The traces of former mining are barely visible to the layperson. The information panel, however, provides detailed information about the remains of iron mining from the 14th to 16th centuries and alum mining from the 16th to the early 18th century.
