Hiking
Ironstone was mined underground in the Gloria mine from 1888 to 1949. The ore was mined manually in so-called reel shafts. Seven shafts up to 35 meters deep were connected. From 1886, the iron ore was brought to the Würgeengel loading station via a horse-drawn mine train. From there the iron ore was loaded and transported on with the Lindenbachbahn.
