Hiking

The Hainau mine was operated sporadically from 1860 to 1915. River iron stone with an iron content of 25% was mined. In 1869 an extraction tunnel with a length of 260 meters was added. The pit is also known for fossils, a quartzite stone ax and flint knives. The tunnel mouth was piped and closed with a grid. The pit area is cordoned off by a wire rope.
