    Tips

    You can see them right next to the forest path. Large blocks of concrete, probably weighing several tons. What could that be? During research, the origin could be clarified. These are counterweights for tensioning the longest Central German coal cable car from the mining era from 1908 to 1928. The cable car was 8 km long and transported the raw lignite from the Gustav II and Friedrich IV mines to the briquette factory in Bergwitz for further processing. It's interesting what people can leave behind.
