Railway overpass of the artificial moat built in the 19th century; Elongated moat with quarry stones, the aqueduct above Knappenweg, which was still preserved in the mid-1980s, has now been removed, a remarkable testimony in terms of mining history

Hiking

Approximately 200 meters from the turn-off, the Himmelfahrt artificial ditch built in 1844/1845 bridges the railway line (note the sign), which supplied the Himmelfahrt treasure trove with surcharge water (ore laundry pond, cf. also Himmelfahrt treasure trove). It branches off from the Hüttenteich south of Zug and still supplies the commercial area and companies in the east of Freiberg with industrial water.

Railway bridge over the artificial ditch created in 1844/45.
To this day, the industrial area is still supplied with process water from the Hüttenteich.
