    Here you can learn a lot about the charcoal-burning trade and there is also a snack bar with small dishes (bockwurst, roster, solyanka, chips and currywurst) and drinks! 👍🏻

    Interesting facts about how charcoal was made in the past. A strengthening is also well provided.
    Translated by
    Charcoal burning is one of the oldest crafts in the Ore Mountains. This old trade is very closely linked to mining and metallurgy in the Ore Mountains. In the dark forests around Sosa, smoking charcoal kilns stood in clearings, in which the charcoal burner burned charcoal for the tin and iron works or for the blacksmiths in the mines.

    The Marggraf charcoal kiln is one of two charcoal-burning businesses still in existence in Sosa.
