    Hiking

    The Powder House was built in 1793. It was used to safely store the gunpowder needed for mining in Altenberg. Inside, the powder house is divided into four explosives chambers, one each of which belonged to the large mining companies in Altenberg, the Zwitterstock union, the Zwitterstocks-Tiefer-Erbstolln union and the Rothe-Zeche-Fundgrube union. The last remaining explosives chamber was rented out by the Knappschaft.

    The shaft is part of the Zwitterstock Tiefen Erbstolln mining landscape and the Neufang mining area and was used to provide ventilation for the mine field under the Pinge.
