Here, a plaque from the Eco Trail Mining in the Söhre commemorates the Wattenbach coal works that used to be there, which was later called the Old Pit. The plant was operated from 1860 to 1907.
There is also a small rest area here.

Part of the Eco path mining in the Söhre ⚒.
Here something is told about the history of the Wattenbach coal plant "Alte Grube". There are also benches for a little rest.
